Incorrect neotype and neallotype designations for species of Agastopsylla (Siphonaptera: Ctenophthalmidae)

Abstract

In a recent paper published April 2020, López Berrizbeitia et al. (2020) reviewed the taxonomy of the flea genus Agastopsylla Jordan & Rothschild, 1923, re-described two species and one subspecies and designated, for some of them, neotypes and neallotypes from the Colección Mamíferos Lillo Anexo, Dra. Analía G. Autino. (CMLA), Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Argentina, and the Natural History Museum (London, U.K.). The original type specimens were discovered very recently in the Field Museum of Natural History, where they were originally deposited. Therefore, in accordance with the subsection 75.8 of the Article 75 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999), referencing the status of rediscovered former name-bearing types, the neotypes designated in López Berrizbeitia et al. (2020) are set aside.
