Type material

One syntype specimen, which is selected here as lectotype:

CYPRUS: ♀, Chypre [printed] // Ch. Zürcher [handwritten] // rhodiacus m. [mihi] ♂ ♀ [handwritten by Friedrich Julius Schilsky on bluish paper] // [the following label of red paper was added:] Lectotype Polydrusus (Conocetus) rhodiacus (Schilsky, 1912) labelled C. Germann 2016 (MFN).

Type locality

CYPRUS.

Other material examined

CYPRUS: 1 ♂, Dionos (Chypre), 28 May 1974, coll. Voříšek (BMNH); 1 ♂, Nicosie (SDEI).

TURKEY: 2 ♂, Adana, As m. [= Asia minor], coll. Lokay (cRB); 1 ♂, Antalya distr., Gündogmus, 27 Sep.1980, leg. Lodos (NMBE).

Remarks

The type locality given in the original description “Auf Rhodos” [on Rhodes] is wrong and should not be used in faunistic references, as in Dalla Torre et al. (1936). Charles Zürcher himself (Zürcher 1919: 159) corrected the origin of the type specimens from “Rhodes” to “L’ île de Chypre”. The present record from Gündogmus is the first for mainland Turkey.

Ecology
