Dolerus vulneratus Mocsary, 1878

Notes.

Dolerus vulneratus Mocsáry, 1878: 199. ♀. Syntypes (assumed). Type locality: Siberia. Lectotype ♀ hereby designated, labelled: “Siber[ia]”, " Dolerus vulneratus ♀ Mocs.", "Holotypus [printed with red] ♀ Dolerus vulneratus Mocsáry, 1878 Zombori, 1977 [handwritten]", " Lectotypus [printed] ♀ Dolerus vulneratus Mocsáry, 1878 M.Heidemaa des. ‘22” [handwritten, red]. " Dolerus vulneratus Mocsáry, 1878 M.Heidemaa det." [printed]. HNHM.

The “holotype” label attached by Zombori has no nomenclatural significance, because this interpretation was never published. Moreover, the number of specimens was not given in the original description and the ♀ symbol does not necessarily indicate that Mocsáry had only one specimen, even if only one specimen was found in the author’s collection. Such assumptions about the status of specimens as holotypes should be avoided according to the Code ( ICZN 1999: Articles 72.4.7, 73F). The larva is known through rearing and observations by Ponomarev (2022). Host plant: unidentified Poaceae spec.
