Lachnopus Argus
''Lachnopus'' is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae distributed in the Caribbean Region. Taxonomy The genus ''Lachnopus'' was named for the first time by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1840 (p. 380). The names ''Menoetius'' Dejean, 1821-94 and ''Ptilopus'' Schönherr, 1823: c. 1140 are considered junior synonyms of ''Lachnopus''. The placement of ''Lachnopus'' within Entiminae has been unstable through time. It was considered part of Lacordaire's "Cyphides" (p. 107, 122) along with some genera considered nowadays to be part of the tribe Eustylini ( Compsus, ''Exophthalmus'', '' Oxyderces'', '' Tetrabothinus'') or Naupactini ("''Cyphus''" -currently '' Cyrtomon''-, '' Platyomus''). Then considered among the Barynotini in van Emden (1944) and O'Brien and Wibmer (1982), a widespread assemblage of weevils which is now known as the Geonemini. The identity of ''Lachnopus'' has been questioned, specifically regarding its distinctness from ''Exophthalmus''. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He began with an examination of the Charles De Geer, Charles de Geer collection which had been handed to the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1778. He introduced the system of using a red label to mark historical specimens that had served as the basis of De Geer's descriptions. This continues to be a standard practice in entomological collections today for Holotype, holotypes. Life and work Born in Stockholm, Schönherr was son of a German immigrant who had established himself as a silk manufacturer. At the age of nineteen, he took over the business together with his mother and developed it into a considerable size, with about 200 workers.
