Breddin's types of Ochlerus (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae, Discocephalinae).

Abstract

After more than a century, the type specimens of the Pentatomidae genus Ochlerus Spinola, 1837 described by Gustav Breddin are revised. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the author left most of the related work incomplete and it resulted in the possible mislabeling of the type material, as well as a change in the institutions where they should be deposited. Types are assigned to the following species: Ochlerus bergrothi, O. bistillatus, O. communis, O. cotylophorus, O. dentijugis, O. handlirschi, O. incisulus, O. notatulus, O. profanus, O. rusticus, O. signoreti, O. stylulatus, and O. tenuicornis. The male of O. tenuicornis is transferred to a new species, Ochlerus breddini.
