Acanthoscelides patagonicus

Acanthoscelides patagonicus (Pic, 1902). Combination confirmed. Bruchus patagonicus Pic, 1902a: p. 51. From label: “Patagonia / S. Cruz / Silvestri 1906” [Argentina]. Syntype male deposited in the MNHN. There is a “ Holotype ” label affixed to this specimen not added by M. Pic. 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 therefore be considered a syntype. Bruchus patagonicus: Pic (1913), p. 40 (catalog). Acanthoscelides patagonicus: Blackwelder (1946), p. 760 (catalog, comb. nov.); Udayagiri & Wadhi (1989), p. 57 (catalog) Barriga-Tuñon (1990), p. 14 (checklist).
