Extract

McDunnough (1938, pp. 32-33) has raised the question of the validity of Iron fraudator Trar. A specimen sent to him by Dr. Traver as the true pleuralis was treated with caustic potash and mounted in balsam. This “proved……..identical with a genitalic slide made from a male paratype of fraudator, Trav.……..Other slides of similarly distorted material……..gave similar results.” Spieth (1938, pp. 7-11) has also questioned the validity of I. fraudator, giving additional evidence that this species is, in reality, a stage of I. pleuralis in which the penes have become expanded.
