Description

Ochthephilum fracticorne (PAYKULL 1800)

Cryptobium pallidum GISTEL 1857: 84; nov.syn.

C o m m e n t: The original description of the nomen dubium Cryptobium pallidum is based on an unspecified number of - presumably lost - syntypes from "Helvetia" (GISTEL 1857). The type material is evidently teneral ("totum pallidum"). The description does not provide any evidence whatsoever that it should be distinct from O. fracticorne, the most common species of the genus in Central Europe. Hence the synonymy proposed above.
