Lepturges (Lepturges) melzeri Gilmour 1959
Lepturges (Lepturges) melzeri Gilmour, 1959 Lepturges humilis Melzer, 1934: 201 (preoccupied). Lepturges melzeri Gilmour, 1959: 606. Urgleptes melzeri; Monné, 1976: 357. Lepturges (Lepturges) melzeri; Olivier et al., 2024: 473. Note: for full references, see Monné (2024) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2024). See photographs on Bezark (2024) and in Monné et al. (2024). Remarks. – Recently, Olivier et al. (2024) transferred Urgleptes melzeri (Gilmour,1959) to Lepturges (Lepturges) Bates, 1863.Although the transfer was correct, the figures included in the work do not correspond to the holotype of Lepturges humilis (= L. (L.) melzeri): they are of the lectotype of Urgleptesprolixus (Melzer, 1931).Monné et. al. (2024) illustrated the true holotype of L. (L.) humilis. Therefore, the following corrections must be made: – Lepturges (Lepturges) melzeri; Olivier et al., 2024: Fig. 38-40 = Lepturges prolixus (= Urgleptes prolixus). All other information on L. (L.) melzeri in Olivier et al. (2024) and Monné et al. (2024) actually correspond to this species. Therefore, the species belongs to Lepturges (Lepturges) and not to Urgleptes.
