Name
Dasiosoma testaceum Britton, 1937 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Dasiosoma testaceum Britton 1937[1]: 234 (original: Dasiosoma; type locality: N. W. Rhodesia; syntypes deposited in NHML); Basilewsky 1949[2]: 222 (Dasiosoma).
Type examined
Syntypes of Dasiosoma testaceum Britton: 1 male (NHML), “Holo-Type” [round label with red circle]; “N. W. Rhodesia: / Lukanga. / l.v.1915. / H. C. Dollman”; “H. C. Dollman / Coll. 1919-79”; “Dasiosoma / testacea g. sp. n. / Holotype / E. B. Britton. / det. 28.vii.1937”[Fig. 53]. 25 ex. (NHML), the same collection data but labeled as paratype.
Notes on types
The original description mentioned a total of 30 specimens of Dasiosoma testaceum, but no holotype was originally fixed. So, all specimens we found in NHML are syntypes, although the first one was labeled as “holotype” by Britton himself.
