Placostylus albersi obliquata

Specimen labelled as Placostylus albersi Dautzenberg & Bouge var. obliquata Dautzenberg & Bouge - Dautzenberg & Bouge in Dautzenberg (1923: 146) do not mention a variety obliquata. A search on the internet (C. d'Udekem d'Acoz, 22 Jan. 2021) yielded no more result. So this might be a manuscript name. Placostylus albersi Dautzenberg & Bouge in Dautzenberg, 1923 is currently accepted as Placostylus fibratus souvillei (Morelet, 1857) (see Neubert et al. 2009). The present specimen can presumably be considered as a syntype of Placostylus albersi. Registration number: MT 697 - BE-RBINS-MT-697-Placostylus-albersi-obliquata. Old registration number: 524999.
