Trogulus, Latreille, 1802

SCHÖNHOFER, AXEL L., 2013, Axel L. Schönhofer, Zootaxa 3679 (1), pp. 1-68 : 56

Trogulus considered as nomina dubia coreiformis C.L. Koch, 1839a: 133 ; loc. typ.: not specified. Remarks. Koch’s (1839a) drawings do not allow identification of the species, and the type seems lost. Ausserer (1867: 160) mentioned coreiformis from Tyrol, Austria (Paschberg, Mühlau), but his data provide no evidence for a distinct species (see also Schönhofer 2009: 176).

lygaeiformis C.L. Koch, 1839a ; loc. typ.: not specified.

Trogulus lygaeiformis C.L. Koch, 1839a: 130 .

Trogulus ligaeiformis —C.L. Koch 1850: 98 (misspelling). Remarks. Koch’s (1839a: 130) insufficient description compared lygaeiformis with nepaeformis which he understood to be much larger than nepaeformis as presently accepted. Dahl’s (1903: 287) synonymisation of lygaeiformis with nepaeformis is therefore inappropriate. The type seems to be lost and it is advisable not to use this name any longer (Schönhofer 2009: 180) as no species is recognisable.

templetonii Westwood, 1833: 453 ; loc. typ.: Valparaiso. Remarks. Further listing restricted to Westwood (1874: 202) and Sherborn (1933: 1058). The species is not recognisable, and the type locality refers to either a city in Chile (unlikely) or Valparaíso de Abajo in Central Spain. The type is stated to be in the Belfast Natural History and Philosophical Society Museum and should be investigated.
