76. Philoctetes mongolicus (du Buysson, 1901), status revived

Ellampus horvathi var. mongolicus du Buysson, 1901b: 98. Syntypes ♂♀, N Mongolia (98 (descr.), depository: NHMW)*.

Ellampus horwathi (!) var. mongolicus : du Buysson 1911: 219 (China: Nan Chan, Che Yeou Ho, tax.); Bischoff 1913: 8 (cat.).

Notozus mongolicus : Tsuneki 1948a: 116 (China: Shanxi: Wutaishan, tax., distr.), 128 (China: Shanxi, cat.).

Omalus (Notozus) mongolicus : Linsenmaier 1959: 16 (key), 23 (cat., ambiguus group).

Philoctetes horvathi : Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 256 (cat.).

Distribution.

China (Shanxi). Widely distributed from Mongolia to Central Asia and southern Russia to Volga ( Trautmann 1927).

Remarks.

Philoctetes mongolicus was often erroneously considered belonging to the genus Elampus (= Notozus ) due to its elongated metanotal projection. However, the metanotal projection is also present in various Philoctetes species (e.g.: Philoctetes putoni (du Buysson)). Kimsey and Bohart (1991) placed Philoctetes mongolicus under Philoctetes horvathi , even if Tsuneki and Linsenmaier considered it as a valid species. Type examination has confirmed that Philoctetes mongolicus is indeed a valid species.
