Phylus melanocephalus


< Previous    |    Next >

Subspecies
No subspecies are recognized. However, some authors
suspect that Phylus palliceps is very similar or probably identical with Phylus melanocephalus. Until more information about the status of Phylus palliceps becomes available, I provisionally retain Phylus palliceps here as a separate species.


Synonyms
Cimex melanocephalus Linnaeus, 1767
Phylus melanocephalus (Linnaeus, 1767)
Cimex pallens Fabricius, 1787 (nec Fabricius, 1781; primary homonym)
Cimex diaphanus De Villers, 1789
Cimex ochropterus Gmelin, 1790 (nomen dubium)

Cimex pallidus Gmelin, 1790

Note: Phylus palliceps is here regarded as a separate taxon and is therefore not included in the above synonymy list.
