Description: | This species was described from 'India Orientali' based on specimen(s) from Joseph Banks' collection. The fact that the specimens in Glasgow have the name as a manuscript name usually meant that Fabricius went away and described the new species from Hunter's collection. This seems not to have happened so maybe he forgot he had seen them there too. It did lead J.G. Kerr (1910, Remarks upon the Zoological Collection of the University of Glasgow, made on the occasion of the visit by the Natural History Society, on March 12, 1910. The Glasgow Naturalist 2(4): 97-111) to list the specimens as types. This seems not to be the case.
Many of the specimens in Hunter's eighteenth century collection were utilised by Fabricius and other contemporary entomologists for describing new species. | 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 : HUNTER 2007 : NEUROPTERA : MYRMELEONTIDAE : | 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 |
