Oniticellus (Liatongus) boucomonti Balthasar, 1932

Oniticellus (Liatongus) Boucomonti Balthasar, 1932: 68 .

Two syntypes are deposited in NMPC (ex coll. V. Balthasar):

SYNTYPES (2 ♀♀): ‘Giufu-Shan / Szechuan / Em. Reitter [p] // Det. Dr. Balthasar [p] / O. Boucomonti m. [hw]’.

Current status. Liatongus boucomonti , nomen dubium.

Remark. This species was described according to an unknown number of specimens from the collection of V. Balthasar ( BALTHASAR 1932). JANSSENS (1953) proposed, that the type series of O. (L.) boucomonti was a mixture of two species. Specimen(s) sexed as male(s) by Balthasar were identical with the female of Liatongus denticornis (Fairmaire, 1887) , and those sexed as female(s) were identical with the female of L. bucerus (Fairmaire, 1891) . BALTHASAR (1963b) himself fully accepted JANSSENS’ s (1953) conclusions. Because no lectotype has been designated yet, BEZDĚK & KRELL (2006) considered L. boucomonti as a nomen dubium.
