Stenolophus elegans Dejean 1829
Authors/Creators
Description
Stenolophus elegans Dejean, 1829: 412.
The specimen here designated as lectotype is a male bearing a white label “ elegans m. in Dalmatia” and a red label “ Lectotype of Stenolophus elegans Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano ”.
Dejean (1829) could examine a number of beetles to describe the species. I have selected a male from Dalmatia that is well conserved and clearly shows the characters of main taxonomic interest: large body size, male protarsomeres notably dilated, antennomeres 1-2 pale, etc. (Jeannel, 1942; Wrase, 2004, 2011).
The species has a large distribution area from Central Asia and West Siberia to almost all Europe, North Africa and Canary Islands (Jaeger & Kataev, 2017).
