Lobrathium multipunctum ( GRAVENHORST 1802) View in CoL

Lathrobium multistriatum MOTSCHULSKY 1858: 646 , preoccupied; nov.syn.

Lathrobium differens GEMMINGER & HAROLD 1868: 610 View in CoL , replacement name; nov.syn.

C o m m e n t: The original description of L. multistriatum , a preoccupied name subsequently replaced with the new name L. differens by GEMMINGER & HAROLD (1868), is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from " Styria ". Lathrobium differens is a nomen dubium ( SMETANA 2004) and doubtlessly does not refer to an overlooked species. The type material was not examined, but the description leaves little doubt that it refers to L. multipunctum : "un peu plus petit que le L. spadiceum Er. auquel il ressemble par ses formes et ses couleurs, mais étant plus convexe il présente des élytres régulierement striées par des gros point imprimés. Epines caudale distinctes" ( MOTSCHULSKY 1858). Consequently, both Lathrobium multistriatum MOTSCHULSKY and L. differens GEMMINGER & HAROLD are placed in the synonymy of Lobrathium multipunctum (GRAVENHORST) .
