Colpoptera rustica ( Fabricius 1803) View in CoL , comb. n.

Flata rustica Fabricius 1803: 53

Leptophara rustica Stal 1869: 103 View in CoL

Hesperophara rustica Metcalf 1958: 463 View in CoL [catalogued]

Note: According to Zimsen’s (1964) book on the Fabricius collections in Copenhagen, one specimen of Flata rustica was deposited in Copenhagen and two in Kiel. We have examined photos of these three specimens kindly sent by Prof. Niels P. Kristensen, who writes: “The specimen in the “Copenhagen Collection” (i.e., the one from the TØnder Lund collection to which reference is made in the original description) belongs to one family, the two in the “Kiel Collection” to another.” The female specimen in the Copenhagen collection fits the description of Flata rustica Fabricius , which has been correctly placed in the Issidae View in CoL since Stal (1869). The two specimens in the Kiel collection do not fit the description. They are Cenchreini , Derbidae View in CoL , with lateral carinae on the pronotum partially encircling the antennae. Since no number of specimens is given in the description, and the single specimen in the Copenhagen collection has the correct data (a green square designating the Fabrician collection, a red “Type” label, and “Amer. merid. Schmidt/ Mus. Seh et L./Rustica F.”), we assume it is a holotype, not a syntype, and no lectotype designation is necessary. We cannot explain the presence of the other two specimens.
