Paratettix argillaceus

Description

longipennis mutabilis Hancock, 1909: 413 [Tetrix].

One ♂ paralectotype. The specimen has been labelled as “longipennis dimorpha Hancock” by Hebard, but the locality “ Victoria Australia ” agrees with that given by Hancock in his description of the variety of T. longipennis. The ♂ lectotype (designated by Key, 1981: 51), is in the OXUM.

A junior synonym of Paratettix argillaceus (Erichson, 1842)
