Remarks

Tippmann (1939) only provided detailed locality data for the two specimens he collected personally; the other type specimens were collected by local collectors in the same area. Only one specimen (ZMH824664) bears original Tippmann labels, whereas the other specimen (ZMH824665) only has handwritten or printed labels provided by Emil Ross, from whom the specimens came to the ZMH. The holotype is deposited at the USNM (former F. Tippmann collection # 41681) and further paratypes are at the SNSD and MCSNM.

The collection of Friedrich F. Tippmann (1894–1974) was the largest specialized collection of the longhorn beetles that ever existed, with more than 100,000 specimens, of nearly 3000 genera and 1500 species from around the world ( Monné 2006). According to the database of the Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut (SDEI), most of his material is currently deposited at the USNM. Evidence of how some of his type material arrived to the ZMH remains elusive, as major parts of the collection were destroyed including all documentation, such as accession books, inventory lists and card catalogues were lost during the Allied bombing of Hamburg in 1943, ( Simões et al. 2021). Thus, we speculate that the material arrived at the ZMH along with the collection of Emil Ross (1870–1943), who had one of the largest and most important private collections in Germany ( Weidner 1976), was transferred to the ZMH in 1944 ( Weidner 1976; Simões et al. 2021).
