Catálogo dos tipos de invertebrados depositados nas coleções entomológicas do INPA-Manaus

Catalogue of type specimens of invertebrates in the collection of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Manaus, Brazil: I. Acanthocephala, Nematoda, and Rotifera

“…Specimens of two Rotifera species were listed in former catalogues (RATCLIFFE & PENNY 1978b, RAFAEL et al 1983) as being holotypes. A closer examination of the data associated to these material revealed that they cannot be considered as such.…”

“…ALTHERR (1972,1977) described several new species of Nematoda from a collection made by W. Sattler in 1961 in interstitial waters near Benfica (01º18'S, 48º18'W) in the vicinity of Belém, state of Pará, Brazil, and stated that the types were deposited at INPA. However, these types have never been found in the Collection of Invertebrates at INPA and they were not listed in its two former catalogues of type specimens (RATCLIFFE & PENNY 1978b, RAFAEL et al 1983). Edmond Altherr died in November of 1976, and he probably did not have the opportunity to send these types back to INPA.…”

“…4a Koste in ADIS et al (1985)]. Remarks: This specimen was listed as the holotype in former catalogues (RATCLIFFE & PENNY 1978b, RAFAEL et al 1983. ADIS et al (1985) indicated that the slide marked with the number "18" (handwritten) should be the holotype.…”

“…Paralectotype: INPA 093; data as lectotype. Remarks: These specimens were listed as syntypes in previews catalogues (RATCLIFFE & PENNY 1978b, RAFAEL et al 1983). However, Koste, in a personal communication to ADIS et al (1985), indicated which slide should be the holotype.…”
