Abstract
GIAMBELLUCA, Luis A.. Is the city of La Plata the collection site for Bothriurus bonariensis (C.L. Koch, 1843) syntypes (Scorpiones: Bothriuridae)?. Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2021, vol.80, n.3, pp.41-42. ISSN 0373-5680. http://dx.doi.org/doi.org/10.25085/rsea.800306.
Bothriurus bonariensis syntypes were described by C.L. Koch in 1843 who mentioned "La Plata" as the collection site, but this city did not exist until 1882, suggesting that he was referring to the Río de La Plata area. An error is also pointed out in relation to publications and web pages which mention 1842 and not 1843 as the year of publication.
Keywords : Buenos Aires; Scorpion; Type locality.
