........Phyllopertha
Stephens, 1830 |
|
|
|
|
Distribution: Honduras
(P. latitarsis, only specimen described by Nonfried from
the New World).
|
|
Revision or
Synopsis: not available.
|
|
Composition:
around 30 species in the Old World.
|
|
Remarks: We search for the type
of P. latitarsis in institutions accross Europe, but we were
unable to locate it. Based on the description by Nonfried it is possible
that this specimen should more appropriately be assigned to another
Anomalini or Rutelinae genus. Or maybe it truly is a member of Phylopertha
and the type specimen will surface in the future. Lacking type specimens
for examination we consider this taxon Incertae sedis.
