Larinus akbesianus Desbrochers 1897

Description

Larinus akbesianus Desbrochers, 1897

Larinus akbesianus Desbrochers, 1897: 30

In the description, Desbrochers indicates “Long. 8 mill.”, “Akbẻs, reçu de MM. Sfaudinger [instead of Staudinger!] et Bang­Haas”. “Reçu” is masculine, singular and means a single specimen (and probably the two men collected together).

Type. The female recognized as holotype bears the handwritten labels “Akbẻs” and “ akbesianus m., Fr. 6.97” and has been labelled “ Holotypus Ψ, Larinus akbesianus Desbr., Gültekin & Perrin des. 2005” [on red paper], “ Larinus brenskei Fst, L. Gültekin det. 2005”. It is pinned through the right elytron and intact.

Remarks. The mention “Fr. 6.97” is a reference to the description. The comparison of the types revealed the following new synonymy: Larinus brenskei Faust, 1890 [= Larinus akbesianus Desbrochers, 1897 syn. n.]. L. brenskei Faust is closely related to Larinus iaceae (Fabricius, 1775) and Larinus rectinasus Petri, 1907, differing from the latter in its smaller body, thinner rostrum and the lack of the medial constriction of the aedeagus and from L. iaceae in its wider elytra, coarser elytral punctuation and the shape of fore tibiae and aedeagus.
