Description

Pocadius tenebrio Gistel, 1857

Pocadius tenebrio Gistel, 1857: 552 [40].

Type material. NEOTYPE: J, ‘Bolesó / Trencsén / Laczo J. // Neotypus / Pocadius tenebrio Gistel, 1857 / des. Jelínek & Audisio, 2007 // Cyllodes ater (Herbst) det. Jelínek, 2007’.

Apart from minor details, the description of this species is a Latin equivalent of the German description of Cychramus tenebrio on page 536 [24]. Moreover, the measurements are specified and potential identity with Strongylus ater is admitted. The glabrous, shining black dorsum with subtle seriate punctures on elytra also confirm this identity. Pocadius tenebrio Gistel, 1857 is thus both a synonym and a secondary homonym of Cychramus tenebrio Gistel, 1857, and a junior synonym of Strongylus ater Herbst, 1792 (= Cyllodes ater (Herbst, 1792)).

Note. Bolesó and Trenczén are Hungarian equivalents of the Slovak toponymes Bolešov and Trenčín (Slovakia) – see also Cychramus tenebrio above.
