Taxonavigation

Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Apionidae
Genus: Apion

Name

Apion limbatum Thunberg, 1813: 382 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Original description

A. limbatum: cinereo-fuscum, elytrorum sutura basi margineque externo albidis.
Magnitudo minoris pediculi; totum glabrum, cinereo-coerulescens.
Elytra striata sutura basi margineque externo albo.
Pedes inermes.

Material studied

One male specimen, glued to a pin 20.4 mm long and 0.59 mm in diameter with the following data: 1293, Cap. The original Thunberg labels, which I have not seen, read: “Apion” (genus label) and “limbatum. Cap.” (species label). It is here designated as the lectotype of this species. The specimen is severely damaged, the abdomen is broken and separated from the body and the elytra are open, but fortunately all legs and antennae are entire. I have been able to recover the abdomen and prepare the remainder of the ventrites, terminalia and genitalia in a drop of DMHF (water- or ethanol-soluble resin) on an acetate card. Study of the specimen showed it to be a member of an hitherto undescribed genus, which is described below.
