Sennius titschacki

Sennius titschacki (Pic, 1947). New combination. Spelling emendation. Bruchidius tischacki Pic, 1947: p. 4. From label: “Süd-Peru / Bei Hualla, 3300 m / 21. 4. 1936; Hbg.-Süd-Peru / Sammelreise 1936. / Eing. Nr. 1, 1937; Von Cassia spec” [Peru]. Syntype male deposited in the MNHN. This specimen bears a “ Holotype ” label. However, the original publication does not designate a holotype nor does it indicate the number of specimens examined. Because no lectotype has been published, this must be considered a syntype. Both the specimen label and the subsequent publication by Pic (1954) spell this name as Bruchidius titschacki, and this is almost certainly in honor of Erich Titschack, a prominent collector in Peru and Ecuador in the first half of the 20 th century, although Pic (1947, 1954a) makes no mention of the etymology of the specific epithet. Given the intention, label name, and subsequent spelling, this is certainly a spelling that must be corrected under Article 32.5 of the ICZN (1999). Subsequent authors have all used this corrected spelling.
