Remarks
We examined a specimen of M. palmiphilus deposited in the MNHN and mistakenly labeled it as “ lectotype ”. Subsequently we decided that it would be better to designate the specimen from the MRSN (Fig. 34A) as the lectotype, since Lacordaire (1842) did not mention the Dupont collection in his description (see Material and Methods, comments about type depositories). In such cases, the specimens used by Lacordaire presumably belong to the Brême collection (MRSN). Mycotretus palmiphilus resembles M. argus Lacordaire, 1842 (Fig. 26F), but we did not have a sufficient number of specimens of either species for comparison, and we prefer not to propose a new synonym here.
