Agrilus croaticus Abeille de Perrin

= curtii Obenberger, 1913

= serbicus Obenberger, 1927 syn. nov.

Agrilus croaticus Abeille de Perrin, 1897: 6 , 21.

Remarks. A single syntype is deposited in NMHN but was not available for study. The conspecifity of A. croaticus and A. serbicus is based on the generally accepted concept of A. croaticus .

Agrilus albogularis variety curtii Obenberger, 1913: 9 . Lectotype by present designation, ♂, NMPC: “Bisamberg A. i. Winkler [p] \ TYPUS [p] [red label] \ v. Curtii m. v. [h] Det. Dr Obenberger [p] Typus [h] \ Mus. Nat. Pragae Inv. [p] 24955 [h] [orange label]” and one paralectotype, ♀ from: “ Wien, Umg.”. A single paralectotype from “Hungaria, Uj. Pest ” is deposited in DEI and another from “Umg. Wien ” is deposited in NHMB. The exact number of syntypes is unknown.

Type locality. “ Bisamberg bei Wien ”, Austria. Determined by the lectotype ( ICZN, Article 76.2) .

Remarks. Agrilus curtii was described from multiple localities “Uj­Pest; Bisamberg bei Wien; Wien Umgebung”. The type locality becomes the place of origin of the lectotype. The name curtii was cited by Bílý (1993) as a synonym of A. croaticus . Mühle et al. (2000) studied types of both taxa and reconfirmed their conspecifity. Bílý (2002) treated A. curtii as a valid species without further explanation.

Agrilus serbicus Obenberger, 1927b: 75–76 . Lectotype by present designation, ♀, NMPC: “ Serbia [h] \ TYPUS [p] [red label] \ A. serbicus m. Type [h] Det. Dr. Obenberger [p] \ Mus. Nat. Pragae Inv. [p] 24958 [h] [orange label]”. The exact number of syntypes is unknown.
