Name
Anchista fenestrata Chaudoir, 1877 new rank – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Anchista fenestrata subpubescens Chaudoir 1877[1]: 238 (original: Anchista; type locality: nord de l’Hindostan; lectotype deposited in MNHN); Csiki 1932[2]: 1456 (Anchista, catalogue).
Type examined
Lectotype of Anchista subpubescens Chaudoir, designated herein (MNHN): female, body length = 7.8 mm, pin mounted, “Ex Musaeo / Chaudoir” [red letter]; “TYPE” [red label]; “subpubescens / Chaudoir / Indes orient bor / Bacon” [Chaudoir’s box label, but pinned under specimen]; “Museum Paris / 1952 / Coll. R. Oberthür”; “LECTOTYPE ♀/ Anchista subpubescens / Chaudoir, 1877 / Des. SHI H. L. 2011” [red label][Fig. 41].
Notes on types
Anchista subpubescensChaudoir: We found a female in the general Lebiini collection in MNHN, it was moved from the collection of Chaudoir. Except this one, we found no other specimen that accorded with the original literature in MNHN. The original literature didn’t indicate or imply this species was described on a single specimen, so we herein designate this specimen (Fig. 41) as lectotype for the purpose of fixing the name to unique name-bearing type.
Non-type material examined
(Total 33 specimens). Pakistan: 4 females (ZSM), “West Pakistan, Rawalpindi Umg., 25 km No., 600-, 700m, 20.XII.55, Chr. Lindemann leg.”. 1 female (ZSM), “West Pakistan, Rawalpindi Umg., Kanatti Chak, Salt Range, 9–14.I.56, Chr. Lindemann leg.”. 15 females, 8 males (ZSM), “West Pakistan, 11-, Rawalpindi Umg., Kanatti Chak, Salt Range, 15.II.56, Chr. Lindemann leg.” [4 of them with the label: “Anchista subpubescens, det. Ing Jedlička”][Figs 7, 72]. 3 females (NMPC), “West Pakistan 11.-, Rawalpindi Umg., Kanatti Chak, Salt Range 15.II.56, Chr. Lindemann leg.”. India: 2 females (CMB), “India, Rajasthan, Bharatpur 40km, w Agra N. P., Keoladeo leg., 11/07 Roppei”.
Diagnosis
Dorsal side evenly pubescent; pronotum widest near middle, lateral margins slightly angulate; elytra bicolored; 3rd and 5th interval of elytra with primary pores small, indistinct, usually more than five pores on each interval.
Description
Body size, form, and color the same as the nominotypical subspecies, also with similar elytral pattern variation. This subspecies differs from the nominotypical subspecies by: dorsal side finely and equally pubescent; microsculpture indistinct; head with pubescence sparse on vertex; elytra with intervals evenly pubescent; 3rd interval with five to eight setigerous pores, some pores small and indistinct, the basal one usually placed at basal one-fourth approximately, apical one adjacent to 2nd stria; 5th interval with five to seven setigerous pores at basal half, pores gradually decreasing to apex, sternum with dense pubescence. Male genitalia without significant difference from the nominotypical subspecies (Figs 71, 72).
Distribution
(Map 3). India (Rajasthan), Pakistan.
Remarks
Anchista subpubescens Chaudoir was originally described from north India. According to specimens examined, it is distributed in northeast Pakistan and northwest India, allopatric with Anchista fenestrata from east India (Map 3). All specimens of Anchista subpubescens have no significant difference in male genitalia and external structure exceptdistinct dorsal pubescence. We therefore rank it as a subspecies of Anchista fenestrata (Schmidt-Göbel).
