Description

" Parajulus " tarascus (de Saussure, 1860)

Julus tarascus de Saussure, 1860:377 –378, pl. 7, fig. 52. Hoffman, 1999:171. Bueno-Villegas et al., 2004:589. Parajulus tarascus: de Saussure and Humbert, 1872:98, 183.

Paraiulus tarascus: Pocock, 1907:57 –58. Loomis, 1968a:75.

Type specimen. The Ψ holotype is lost, as it is not present at either the MHNG or MNHP (P. Schwendinger & J.-J. Geoffroy, pers. comms.). The type locality is Angangueo District, Michoacan, Mexico, which is a railroad station and mining town in eastern Michoacan at approximately 9,000' elevation (Selander and Vaurie 1962); coordinates are 19° 37' N, 100° 17' W.

Remarks. The second oldest specific name in both the family and tribe, tarascus should be assigned to a reasonably topotypical male.
