Tetrix laticeps Westwood, 1841 View in CoL nomen dubium

Comments. The type specimen is unknown, since it is not in London ( BMNH), or Oxford ( UMO), but Westwood’s (1841) description fits the characteristics of P. turgida , but since it does not have a name-bearing specimen, the most viable thing to do is to propose this taxon as nomen dubium, and to conserve names that have type specimens in accessible entomological collections .
