AN ANNOTATED LIST OF NEARCTIC DONACIINAE (COLEOPTERA: CHRYSOMELIDAE): THE GENERIC CLASSIFICATION AND TYPE SPECIMENS OF THE NEW WORLD SPECIES.
Department of Entomology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Canada R3T 2~2'
During systematic revision of Nearctic donaciines, the majority of type specimens were examined. Some lectotype and neotype designations, made where necessary in the context of revisions of genera (Plateumaris Thomson and Neohaemunia Szkkessy) or solution of specific taxonomic problems, were detailed elsewhere (Askevold 1987a,b, 1988, 1990, 1991). Some taxonomic problems remain despite relatively recent treatment by Marx (1957) of Donacia F. (sensu lato). I indicated earlier that Donacia is repre- sented in North America by 10 species in Donacia (s. str.), and 21 described species in Dunacia (Donaciomima) Medvedev, but details were not given then (Askevold 1990). The purpose of the present paper is to detail remaining lectotype designations among Neasctic members of the genus Donacia F., to list the Nearctic members of Donaciinae, and to detail relevant tax- onomic references and information (i.e., synonymies, taxonomic changes since prior authors, and data about type specimens). Schaeffer (1919, 1925) indicated only if he based his species on a type and allotype, but not that there were also many pasatypes; paratype information is included insofar as such specimens have been found. Species are listed within genera and subgeneia alpha- betically rather than phylogenetically, because phylogenies have been reconstructed only for members of Plateumaris and Neo- haemonia (Askevold 199 1, 1988).

The following list includes all described extant New World Donaciinae, serving to summarize the many taxonomic changes that have resulted from revision of North American Donaciinae. Details of historical use of species names is given where substan- tial changes in name use occurred [i.e., changes since Schaeffer (1925), Marx (1957) and Jolivet (1970)l. The taxonomic history of some names is complicated, often crossing generic boundaries; some species were synonymized with more than one taxon at once, based on composition of the original type series. I have judged that what is important is current synonymy and whether or not that dif- fers from the most recent uses of names, and therefore have not pried deeply into tracing the varied uses of names since their origi- nal description.
Data of individual labels borne by type specimens, where recorded, are stated verbatim and are separated by a slash ("I"). The museums and private collections in which type specimens of any kind are known to be preserved are identified by correspond- ing codens:

Rather than making numerous, repetitive statements about taxonomic details for this genus, users are referred to Askevold (1991) for details about type specimens. Unless other- wise stated, lectotype and neotype designations were made by Askevold (1991); a detailed account of the historical use of names is given there also, and not repeated here.

P. flavipes (Kirby, 1837:223). Holotype Q, BMNH. This name was used incorrectly by previous authors; the taxon previously known as P. flavipes is now called P. shoemakeri (Schaef- fer). The taxon formerly called P. wallisi is now correctly called P. flavipes.
Donacia wallisi (Schaeffer, 1925: 147). Holotype 0 USNM #42399, allotype Q USNM #42399, and 13 paratypes, USNM. Synonymy with P. flavipes by Askevold (1 99 1). P. frosti (Schaeffer, 1925).

Donacia longicollis Schaeffer (1925:156). Holotype 0, USNM #4248-2, allotype USNM #42402 and 22 paratypes, USNM. Synonymized with P. neomexicana by Askevold (1991). Donacia vermiculata Schaeffer (1925: 158). Holotype 9, USNM. Synonymized with P. neomexicana given by Askevold (1991).
P. nitida (Germar, 181 1:31). Lectotype Q MLU. This name was used incorrectly by Schaeffer (1925); the species misidenti- fied by Schaeffer as P. nitida is now called P. schaefferi. The taxon to which the name P. nitida applies was called P. emarginata by Schaeffer (1925) and other authors. Donacia emarginata Kirby (1 837:224). Lectotype 0, BMNH. Synonymized with P. nitida by Askevold (1991). Donacia binodosa LeConte (1 85 1 :3 16) (cf. Suffrian, 1872). Unjustified emendation or nomen nudum. Synonymy with P. nitida by Askevold (1 99 1).

P. pusilla (Say, 1827:293). Neotype (3, MCZ type #32950. Donacia rugifrons Newman (1838:391). Types of this name have not been found, but should be in BMNH. Three speci- mens (of P. rufa, however, not P. pusilla) were found in the MCZ that are labelled Trenton Falls, New York, collected by Doubleday. Similar labels are borne by specimens of two other Newman species - D. cincticornis and D. cataractae - and I consider the possibility that these might be specimens of Newman's D. rugifrons.

19911 Askevold 17 1
Donacia pyritosa LeConte 1857(1860):66. Lectotype (7, MCZ type #4246. This name was formerly used as a variety of P. pusilla, but synonymized by Askevold (1991). P. robusta (Schaeffer, l919:3 18). This name was used as a variety of P. pusilla until elevated to species status by Askevold (1991).
Donacia pusilla var. robusta Schaeffer (1919:318). Holotype (7, USNM #42398, and 3 paratypes USNM #42398. P. rufa (Say, 1827:283). Neotype (7, MCZ #32947. This species was formerly called P. sulcicollis Lac. The name D. rufa has been used incorrectly by authors (Marx 1957:250, Schaeffer 1925: 117), and was transferred from Donacia to Plateumaris by Askevold (1991) [cf. also D. (Donaciomima) tuberculata Lacord., below].
Donacia affinis Kirby (1 837:224) (not Kunze, 18 18). Lectotype 9, BMNH. Transferred to synonymy with P. rufa from syn- onymy with P. sulcicollis by Askevold (1991). Donacia sulcicollis Lacordaire (1845:186). Lectotype 0, BMNH. Synonymized with P. rufa by Askevold (1991). Donacia chalcea Lacordaire (1 845: 188). Holotype 9, MLU. Transferred to synonymy with P. rufa from P. flavipes, by Askevold (1991).
Donacia kirbyi Lacordaire (1845:202). Replacement name for D. affinis Kirby; transferred to synonymy with P. rufa from P. sulcicollis by Askevold (1 99 1).

172 Psyche [Vol. 98
specimens, from Alabama, were given varietal status by Schaeffer (1925), but Askevold (1991) did not give this geo- graphic variation taxonomic status.
Poecilocera Schaeffer (1919:316). Elevated to genus status by Askevold (1990)
P. harrisii (LeConte, 1851 :316). Lectotype Q MCZ #4244, desig- nated by Askevold (1990535); the abdomen is now missing but was present when I first examined it. LeConte stated he had at least two specimens, o and Q, although only a single specimen remains in the LeConte collection. P. harrisii was placed in Sominella by Goecke (1931), but Marx (1957) reverted to place- ment in Donacia (Poecilocera), evidently unaware of Goecke's treatment.
Domiella Reitter (1920:38). Elevated to genus by Askevold (1990), this name has been treated by European authors as a subgenus of Donacia, which has not been recognized in North America despite direct comparisons by Schaeffer (1925) with species occurring in the Palaearctic Region. D. pubicollis (Suffrian, 1872:21). Transferred to Donaciella by Askevold (1990). Suffrian did not indicate the number of specimens before him, but given a range of size measure- ments, had at least two. A series of 12 specimens are pre- served in MLU, associated with a Suffrian label. As determined previously (see P. chalcea and P. nitida, above) these specimens are also likely original Suffrian material, and are here designated. LECTOTYPE 0, following a Suf- frian label ["pubicollis m. Illinois", on large, green, black- bordered paper]: "25519 [red handwriting on small white label] 1 LECTOTYPE 0 Donacia pubicollis Suffrian 1872 design. I.S. Askevold 1991". The remaining 11 specimens are here designated paralectotypes. These bear the same red, handwritten number and my paralectotype label: 255 16 (cT), 25517 (o), 25520 (o), 25521 (o), 25522 (o), 25523 (Q), 25524 (Q), 25525 (Q), 25526 (Q), 33256 (Q) and 25518 (sex undetermined, abdomen missing).




================================================================================

19911 Askevold 173
Donacia pubicollis Crotch (1873:21) (not Suffrian, 1872:21). Synonymy with Donacia pubicollis Suffrian by Marx (1957). No specimens of Crotch's species were found at MCZ indi- cated as type, probably because it was not recognized that Crotch had also described the species, until Marx (1957). I presume the type must be lost, but it is hardly necessary to designate a neotype for such a well-known species. Donacia (Donaciomima) Medvedev (1973:876). The subgenus Donaciomima was originally based on an eastern Palaearctic species, but was disregarded in subsequent treatments. All Nearctic species of Donacia were formerly placed in Donacia s. str., but Askevold (1990) revalidated Donacia (Donaciomima), and defined it to include the majority of species hitherto placed in the nominate subgenus. Most Nearctic species (23) of Dona- cia are included, of which two remain undescribed. D. assimilis Lacordaire (1845:153). Holotype 0, BMNH. Lacor- daire had before him a single specimen of undetermined sex: "TYPE [red] I TYPE [white] I E. Coll. L(afert6 I Donacia assimilis type Lacord. I Donacia assimilis Dej. h. in Ameri. bor. J. Leconte".
Donacia glabrata Schaeffer (1919:313) (not Solsky, 1872). Based on single 0, USNM holotype: "Type I Clementon, VIII. 6. N.J. I Brooklyn Museum Colln. 1929 I TYPE USNM 42387 I D. glabrata type Schffr. I Donacia assimilis Lac." Synonymy with D. assimilis by Schaeffer (1925). D. biimpressa Melsheimer (1847:159). Lectotype 0, MCZ #33365. Melsheimer had before him at least two specimens; the single remaining specimen is here designated as lectotype: "Melsh. biimpres I Type [red] 1 biimpressa [large Melsheimer label, handwritten] 1 LECTOTYPE 0 Donacia biimpressa Melsheimer design. I.S. Askevold 1990 [red] I MCZ. Lecto- type 33365 [red]".
Donacia aurichalcea Melsheimer (1 847: 159). Evidently based on a single specimen. Holotype 0, MCZ #33364: "Melsh. aurichalcea I Type [red] 1 dissected and remounted IS Askevold 1983 I aurichalcea [large handwritten Melsheimer label] I Donacia biimpressa Melsheimer 1847 det. I.S.

D. caerulea Olivier (1795: 10). Neotype (3, CNC #19492, desig- nated by Askevold (1987b:347). Discussed by Askevold (1987b), this species was formerly known as D. aequalis; D. caerulea was used incorrectly by Schaeffer (1925) and Marx (1957), which they applied to certain specimens of D. prox- ima.
Donacia aequalis Say (1 824:248). Neotype (3, MCZ #32948, designated by Askevold (1987b:347); placed in synonymy with D. caerulea by Askevold (1987b).
