Oggetto: Scarab types of Nonfried in BMNH
Dear All
Of Nonfried types in BMNH, all I can find at present
are
x1
Syntype of Pachnoda kustai Nonfried, 1892 (Cetoniinae)
x1
Syntype of Mimela pyropus Nonfried, 1890 (now in Callistethus) (Rutelinae)
These seem to have come to us via Bourgoin and Ohaus, maybe
by exchange. Other Nonfried types indicated in our database actually referred
to types of synonyms by other authors, and these have now been corrected in the
database. It is a common problem for collections managers, when specimens are
large and cover the labels, to have databased types of junior synonyms as if
they were types of the senior name under which they were standing.
best wishes

Thank
you Ales. As far as I know the Type/Type series of T dombrowsky Nonfried, 1906
is not in Berlin or Prague. I will check Paris and the other. Do you know
if anybody have a list of the (Cetoniidae) lost types?
Enrico
Dear Enrico,
majority of Nonfried's types are now deposited in MNHN Paris (coll. Oberthur),
many cetoniines are housed in Museum fur Naturkunde Berlin (coll. Moser), few
types are in other museums (Prague, Muncheberg, Dresden and others), some types
are considered to be lost ...
all the best,
ales
