Description: | [North America] from type description This species was described by Fabricius on the basis of specimen(s) in the Yeats collection. William Hunter acquired Thomas Pattinson Yeats' collection by bequest and so this specimen should be regarded as a probable syntype.
There is a specimen identified as *albicornis* in the Natural History Museum with an adjacent label claiming holotype status written by R.B. Benson in 1950. The basis for this attribution is unclear. The specimen bears no labels of any kind to indicate its origin.
William Hunter's collection was utilised by Fabricius and Olivier in describing many new species.
The collection contains types from other contemporary eighteenth century entomologists such as D. Drury and T.P. Yeats. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ARTHINSECT : HYMENOPTERA : SIRICIDAE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
