Gabrius nigritulus Gravenhorst 1802

Description

Gabrius nigritulus (Gravenhorst, 1802)

(Fig. 12 in this paper; Figs. 1001–1007 in Smetana 1995)

Staphylinus nigritulus Gravenhorst, 1802: 41. For complete references see Herman (2001). Gabrius chiliensis Coiffait & Sáiz, 1968: 348; Sáiz, 1971: 340, syn. nov.

Type material. Lectotype of Gabrius nigritulus, 3, with labels: “6139”, “ Lectotype Gabrius nigritulus Gravenhorst A. Smetana des. 1960”, “Hist.–Coll. (Coleoptera) / Nr. 6139 / Philonthus aterrimus Gyllh. / Europa, Americ. sept. / Zool. Mus. Berlin” (ZMHB). Paralectotypes: 333, with labels: “ Gabrius Steph. / nigritulus Grav. / det. Smetana 1960”, “Hist.–Coll. (Coleoptera) / Nr. 6139 / Philonthus aterrimus Gyllh. / Europa, Americ. sept. / Zool. Mus. Berlin” (ZMHB).

Paratypes of Gabrius chiliensis (Fig. 12): 3, with labels: “Cord. Chillan”, “Germain / 1899”, “ PARATYPE ”, “ Gabrius chiliensis Coiff. et Saiz ”, “ Chile Tipo No 2238”; Ƥ, with labels: “Germain / 1899”, “ PARATYPE ”, “ Gabrius chiliensis Coiff. et Saiz ”, “ Chile Tipo No 2245” (MNNC).

Diagnosis. See Smetana (1995: 619).

Comments. I was not able to see the holotype of G. chiliensis, deposited in the FSC, but I could study paratypes from the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural (MNNC). The types of G. nigritulus and G. chiliensis are similar in external characters and identical in the shape of the aedeagus. These names are considered to be synonyms.
