Annotated fist of the primary type specimens of Megaloptera and Raphidioptera (Insecta, Neuropterida) in the Museum fur Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin

摘要

Nomenclatural and taxonomic data are provided for 28 nominal taxa (7 Raphidioptera, 21 Megaloptera) whose primary type(s) [in one case a paralectotype] are contained in the holdings of the Berlin Museum. Explicit lectotype designations are made for the following four taxa: (Raphidioptera: Raphidiidae) Rhaphidia affinis Schneider; (Megaloptera: Corydalidae) Acanthacorydalis kolbei van der Weele, Corydalus laevicornis Stitz, and Corydalus soror Hagen. Lectotype selections for four nominal taxa whose syntypical series occur (at least in part) in the Berlin Museum are deferred for future researchers. The unique name-bearing type specimens of the remaining 20 nominal taxa have been validly fixed by the actions of previous authors or by automatic provisions of the code.
