Diplous rugicollis (Randall, 1838)

Patrobus rugicollis Randall, 1838a: 1 (as angicollis). Type locality: "Grafton Notch, [near] Bethel [Oxford County], M[ain]e" (neotype label). Neotype (♂), designat ed by Darlington (1938: 152), in MCZ [# 23357]. Note. «Hallowell» in Maine was the place originally cited by Randall (1838a: 2). The spelling angicollis was an error for rugicollis as indicated in the “Errata” inserted in the Boston Journal of Natural History (volume 2, page 560). The spelling rugicollis is in prevailing usage and attributed to the publication of the original spelling; therefore it is deemed to be the correct original spelling (ICZN 1999: Article 33.3.1).

Patrobus longipalpus Notman, 1919b: 231. Type locality: "Keene Heights, Essex Co[unty], N[ew] Y[ork]" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♀) in SIM (Hennessey 1990: 466). Synonymy established by Darlington (1938: 152).
