Bisaltes (Bisaltes) adustus ( Burmeister, 1865)

Ptericoptus adustus Burmeister, 1865: 179 .

Bisaltes adustus ; Bruch, 1912: 209 (cat.).

Bisaltes (Bisaltes) argentiniensis Breuning, 1971b: 285 . Syn. nov.

Remarks. Bisaltes (Bisaltes) adustus (see photographs on Bezark 2022a) was described based on a single specimen from Argentina (Tucumán). Monné (2022) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2021) report that the species was described based on syntypes. However, there is no evidence of this in the original description. Breuning (1971b) described B. argentinensis (see photograph on Bezark 2022a) from Argentina (Salta). Comparing the original descriptions, specimens of B. (B.) adustus , and a photograph of the holotype of B. argentinensis , we did not find a reliable difference. Therefore, B. (B.) argentinensis is synonymized with B. (B.) adustus .
