REMARKS

Although described as a variety, the name Disogmus carinatus var. fuscitarsis is made available at subspecific rank from the date of its original publication as it was published before 1961, the author expressly used the term “var.” and it was adopted as the valid name of a species before 1985, as Disogmus fuscitarsis by Kieffer (1914) (ICZN 1999: arts 45.6.4, 45.6.4.1). The syntype was originally pinned on a long pin that has been subsequently cut down and the specimen substaged. The apex of the right hind tarsus is missing, the left flagellum is missing beyond the fourth segment and the right flagellum is missing beyond the third segment. Kieffer (1907) recorded the type locality as Berisal in France, however, the country is not mentioned on the data label and it seems Kieffer was mistaken. It is most likely that the type came from the famous entomological collecting locality Berisal in the Simplon Pass in Switzerland. The synonymy of Townes & Townes (1981) is followed here.
