Larinus villosicollis Desbrochers 1892

Description

Larinus villosicollis Desbrochers, 1892

Larinus villosicollis Desbrochers, 1892b: 91

In the description, Desbrochers indicates “Ψ. Long. 7 (rostro excluso); lat. 4 mill.” and “J’ai rapportẻ cette espẻce des environs d’Alger” [which means “I brought back this species from the neighbourhood of Alger ”].

Type. The female holotype bears the handwritten labels “Hussein­Dey, Desbrochers, 1889”, “ westringi ”, “ type ” and “ villosicollis ” and has been labelled “ Holotypus Ψ, Larinus villosicollis Desbr., Gültekin & Perrin des. 2005” [on red paper]. The specimen is glued on a card and in good state.

Remarks. The locality “Hussein­Dey” fits with the description (“aux environs d’Alger”): it is at about 6 km south­east of Alger.

Larinus villosicollis Desbrochers belongs to the subgenus Phyllonomeus Gistel, being closely related to Larinus westringii Capiomont, 1874 and Larinus filiformis Petri, 1907. It differs from both of these by short rostrum, the whitish hairs on the elytra forming two indistinct longitudinal stripes, and clothed with dense semi­erect greyish hairs along the lateral margins of pronotum.
