ON THE LOCATION OF TYPES OF FIVE SPECIES OF BRUCHIDAE WITH NOTES ON EARLY AMERICAN LITERATURE OFACANTHOSCELIDES OBTECTUS

L. J. Bottimer¹

Abstract: The location of types of Bruchus limbatus Horn, B. pruininus Horn, B. sordidus Horn, B. pauperculus LeConte, and B. distinguendus Horn is discussed, and lectotypes designated where needed. The confusion in American literature involving the names Bruchus obtectus Say, B. obsoletus Say, and B. distinguendus Horn is reviewed. Bruchus erythrocerus, inadvertently validated by Riley (1871), is synonymized with Meibomeus musculus (Say).

This paper contains notes affecting the classification of the Bruchidae of United States and Canada, a list of all species found north of Mexico, and a list of World genera and their type-species. The Mexican Merobruchus vacillator (Sharp) is added to the fauna of this area. Transferred from our list to that of Latin America are: Acanthoscelides californicus (Boheman), Megacerus eugenie new name for Bruchus ramicornis Boheman nee Erichson, and Mimosestes innotatus (Pic.). The following are synonymized: Spermophagus (Zabrotes) semicinctus Horn (1894) with Zabrotes subfasciatus (Boheman 1833); Bruchus subserripes Fall (1910) with Acanthoscelides compressicornis (Schaeffer 1907); Lithraeus electus Bridwell (1952) with Lithraeus elegans (Blanchard 1851); Bruchus alboguttatus Motschoulsky (1874) with Meibomeus musculus (Say 1831); Bruchus bivulneratus Horn (1873) with Bruchus abbreviatus, inadvertently validated by Say = Sennius abbreviatus (Say 1824); Bruchus nigrinus Horn (1873), B. nictitans Motschoulsky (1874), and B. depressus Fall (1912) with Sennius cruentatus (Horn 1873); Bruchus pythonicus Pic (1913) with Stator pygidialis (Schaeffer 1907); and Bruchus biguttatus Fabricius (1801) = Bruchus biguttellus Schoenherr (1833) with Callosobruchus chinensis (Linnaeus 1758). Original spellings of the specific names of two species are revived: Megacerus pygidalis (Motschoulsky) nee pygidialis Pic, and Megacerus discoidus (Say) nec discoideus: authors. Bruchus lividus J. E. LeConte 1824 is placed in our list as an unrecognized species. Thirty-five new combinations are proposed.
