Description

Laparocerus morio Boheman, 1834

Laparocerus morio Boheman in Schönherr 1834, p 531.

Type locality. Island of Madeira.

Holotype: 1„ [Type] [Lusitania / Falderman]. NR (Coll. Schöhnherr), Stockholm. Specimen in perfect condition (Figure 8A).

Remarks. According to the original description, the type of L. morio is from ‘‘Lusitania, Mus. Dom. Faldermann’’. The species is a common insect in Madeira (Wollaston 1854) and the type locality ‘‘Lusitania’’ (5 Portugal) must be an error, or perhaps a political generalization. This confusion has been already corrected by Lona (1938). The specimen originated probably from Funchal or its neighbourhood. A second very dirty specimen (♀) of L. morio in the Collection Schönherr (SMNH) has a label [Madeira] and is classified as Eremnus Barthelotti. This name is published ‘‘ Eremnus barthelotti. Dom. Guérin. Magaz. Zool.’’ in Schönherr (1842, p 228) as synonym of L. morio. Lundblad (1958, p 485 footnote 5) explains that perhaps Guérin had the intention of describing it, but there is no contribution by him in the Magazine of Zoology, and E. barthelotti should be just a nomen in litteris. That being the case, Eremnus barthelotti is not an available name.
