Vesta thoracica (G. A. Olivier, 1790)

Lampyris thoracica G. A. Olivier 1790: 81

Lampyris vitellinothorax Perty 1830: 27 [syn.]

Lampyris vitellinithorax [sic] Perty 1832 [sic]: 27; McDermott 1966: 81

Vesta vitellinithorax [sic] (Perty, 1832 [sic]); McDermott 1966: 81

Note. Description of species is on page 27 of Perty (1830 –1833). Pages 1–60 were published in 1830, the remaining pages in subsequent years. Also corrected is the misspelling of the species epithet by McDermott from ‘ vitellinithorax ’ to the correct ‘ vitellinothorax ’.
