Latridius jantaricus Borowiec, 1985

= Latridius jacquelinae Hawkeswood, Makhan et Turner, 2009: 108 , syn. nov.

Latridius jacquelinae Hawkeswood, Makhan et Turner, 2009 is proposed as junior synonym of Latridius jantaricus Borowiec, 1985 based on the original description of L. jacquelinae and examination of the holotype of L. jantaricus (deposited in ACME).

Note. The holotype of L. jacquelinae was not available for scientific study. The drawings and picture in the original paper ( Hawkeswood et al. 2009) show eight pronotal impressions (three impressions on each side of the pronotum and two impressions medially between the median carinae), which are also present in the holotype of L. jantaricus . Unfortunately, this character was not completely illustrated by Borowiec (1985) in his description, representing the pronotum instead as having only two impressions on each side.
