Bark and Ambrosia Beetles of North and Central America

SYNONYMY

Taxonomic Comments.   Motschulsky (1863) described Anodius denticuus from 6 syntypic specimens mounted on the same pin. Wood (1969:117) noted that the upper 5 specimens were conspecific with perforans Wollaston and designated the uppermost specimen as the lectotype, thereby also confirming the Motschulsky's name as a junior synonym. He noted that the lowermost specimen was similis Ferrari 1867. Mandelshtam & Nikitsky (2008: 16) essentially rejected Wood's lectotype designation, choosing the lowermost specimen instead. This would have the effect of removing denticuus from synonymy with perforans while also making similis Ferrari junior synonym. Regardless of their arguments, the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature does not allow designation of a new lectotype, once one has already been designated. Consequently Wood's treatment is followed and that of Mandelshtam & Nikitsky is rejected.

Maps automatically open at the center of the plotted points and the scale is set to encompass all map points. Maps can be resized (scale bar at upper left) and the center moved (place cursor over map and drag) to see other parts of the distribution of the species. Clicking on a map marker will pull up collection event data and a literature citation if present. If any errors are found, please refer to the "series code" which is a unique identifier for a database record in any communications). Coordinates have not been entered for all collection records. Localities outside the New World are not plotted, even though they are listed in the distribution summary and in the table of records.
