• Scrutiny:
  • Dolling, 2010, Reuter (1891a: 20) gave almost identical descriptions for Gonocerus insidiator var. imitator and G. acutangulatus (sic) var. simulator. Reuter stated that type material of simulator was ‘in collectione mea’ but did not claim that any material of imitator was in his collection; it was presumably returned to its collector, Emge. The neotype of G. imitator was collected at the type locality of G. acutangulatus var. simulator. An editorial note in Aukema & Rieger, 2006: 80 questions the validity of the NT designation.
