Description: | This was described as a species by Linnaeus but the name *mariscus* seems to have been out of use for many years and appears in no modern checklists. It is a probable synonym for *gigas* and was applied to the males of that species until it was realised that the female had been named *gigas* which had priority.
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 |
