On the identity of types of Roncus diocletiani Curcic, Dimitrijevic & Radja and Archaeoroncus tenuis (Hadzi) (Pseudoscorpiones, Neobisiidae) from Croatia

Five years ago, Curcic et al. (2008) described two new pseudoscorpions: Roncus diocletiani Curcic, Dimitrijevic and Radja (from Croatia) and R. orjensis Curcic, Dimitrijevic and Radja (from Montenegro). The pseudoscorpions studied were mounted on slides with gum-chloral medium. They are deposited in...

Description
Summary:Five years ago, Curcic et al. (2008) described two new pseudoscorpions: Roncus diocletiani Curcic, Dimitrijevic and Radja (from Croatia) and R. orjensis Curcic, Dimitrijevic and Radja (from Montenegro). The pseudoscorpions studied were mounted on slides with gum-chloral medium. They are deposited in the collection of the Institute of Zoology, Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia and in the collection of the Natural History Museum, 21000 Split, Croatia. It has been shown that only the male of R. diocletiani belongs to the nominal species, while the female of the same taxon belongs to Archaeoroncus tenuis (Hadzi). Therefore, the ?allotype male? of R. diocletiani is actually a holotype of this species, while the ?holotype? of R. diocletiani becomes a paratype of A. tenuis.
