Familia: Achilidae
Genus: Protepiptera
Name
Protepiptera reticulata (Germar & Berendt, 1856) comb. n. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Pseudophana reticulata Germar & Berendt, 1856: 16, pl. II, fig. 4b (pars)
- Dictyophara reticulata (Germar & Berendt, 1856): Metcalf and Wade 1966[1]: 126
- Cixidia reticulata (Germar & Berendt, 1856): Szwedo et al. 2004[2]: 85
Lectotype
Late instar nymph (“pupa”) in Baltic amber, former East Prussia (Germar and Berendt 1856[3]: 16, pl. II, fig. 4b), designated here.
Remarks
Of the two syntype nymphs, the late instar is selected as a lectotype. The 3rd instar nymph, belonging to Dictyopharinae, is discussed under the new genus and species below. According to Szwedo et al. (2004)[2], the type material was probably lost during World War II.
This species is possibly a senior synonym of Pseudophana kaweckii Usinger, 1939 based on adults and very common in Baltic amber. Other possible senior synonyms of Pseudophana kaweckii are “Cixius” longirostris Germar et Berendt, 1856 and “Oliarus” oligocenus Cockerell, 1910 (Emeljanov and Shcherbakov 2009[4]).
