Comments on Rhaphigaster albiseptus: The oldest publication where the name appears (that we are aware of) is Herrich-Schäffer (1845), page 7. In this publication, Herrich-Schäffer attributed the name to Germar, but without mention of the year of description. Stål (1867, 1870), Kirkaldy (1909) and Thomas (1992) have all attributed the authorship of Rhaphigaster albiseptus to Herrich-Schäffer. Although Herrich-Schäffer did not provide a formal description of this species until 1851, his use of the name in a short key to species in 1845 is enough to validate the name. He also (1851) transferred Rhaphigaster albiseptus to the genus Podisus, however he still used Rhaphigaster albiseptus in the figure legend (Fig. 1000), probably by mistake. Later, Stål (1867: page 497) considered P. albiseptus to be a synonym of Tynacantha marginata.
Although Herrich-Schäffer’s (1845) first valid use of the name Rhaphigaster albiseptus is prior to Tynacantha marginata (1851), we here consider R. albiseptus to be the senior synonym of T. marginata, but based on the confusion surrounding the original description, and because Herrich-Schäffer’s name has not been used since Kirkardy, (1909), for the sake of maintaining stability, we believe that Tynacantha marginata should continue to be used as the name for this species.
