Posted - 18/05/2019 : 08:26:58 Holotype of A. scalaris is available on British Museum website. I think that Aetholopus halmaheirae Breuning, 1982 is just a synonym of Aetholopus scalaris Pascoe, 1865. |

Posted - 27/03/2019 : 19:24:20 Xaurus, regarding this specimen, do you still believe it is A. scalaris? I would like to include this photo in the upcoming paper if it's identity can be better verified. Perhaps it is A. halmaheirae? I have requested an image of the holotype of A. scalaris from the British Museum which I hope will resolve this matter. |
