Abstract

Pentanota meuseli Bernhauer was erroneously reported from Alaska, based on a misidentification of a specimen of Neothetalia sp. near N. columbiana Klimaszewski, and is here removed from the list of genera and species occurring in North America. A lectotype and a paralectotype are designated for the species from the only two existing original Bernhauer specimens. External and genital illustrations are provided to avoid identification problems in the future.

Résumé

La découverte de Pentanota meuseli Bernhauer en Alaska est erronée, car elle se base sur une mauvaise identification d’un spécimen de Neothetalia sp. près de N. columbiana Klimaszewski; l’espèce est donc retirée de la liste des genres et des espèces retrouvés en Amérique du Nord. Un lectotype et un paralectotype sont désignés pour l’espèce à partir des deux seuls spécimens subsistants de la série d’origine de Bernhauer. Des illustrations de l’habitus et des génitalias permettront d’éviter les erreurs d’identification dans le futur.
