Type locality
“Germanica” (diaperinus); “Valparaiso” (ulomoides).
Synonymy
Examination of the syntype of Cryptops ulomoides Solier, 1851, shows a complete correspondence with Alphitobius diaperinus. The genus Cryptops was considered as synonym of Alphitobius since a long time (for example in the world catalogue of Gebien 1940[1]), but the species ulomoides Solier, 1851 was not formally synonymised with diaperinus Panzer, 1796, so far. In consequence, Alphitobius ulomoides Koch, 1953 is a homonym and needs a new name, arnoldi nom. n. (see above).
Distribution
Cosmopolitan.
