Abstract

GOLDARAZENA, Arturo; MOUND, Laurence A  and  ZUR STRASSEN, Richard. Nomenclatural problems among Thysanoptera (Insecta) of Costa Rica. Rev. biol. trop [online]. 2008, vol.56, n.2, pp.961-968. ISSN 0034-7744.

We present data to argue that several recent papers on the Thysanoptera of Costa Rica are affected by unsatisfactory technical procedures, including failure to recognize intraspecific structural variation. Fourteen new synonyms are recognized for Costa Rica Thysanoptera, nine generic and five specific. Rev. Biol. Trop. 56 (2): 961-968. Epub 2008 June 30.

Keywords : Variation; taxonomy; identification; systematic relationships.
