From editor or global species database
Synonymy Hartman (1942:87) states that "Metachone was distinguished from Chone Kroyer for having thoracic setae lacking a mucron. Since, however, the size and length of the mucron varies greatly between species and even within individuals of a species, it can hardly be accorded generic significance." She also mentions the synonymy of Fauvel (1927:334). However, Fauvel is enigmatic in his synonymy, making absolutely no explanation on his action. Also puzzling is that Bush writes nothing about mucrons, and is vague about a diagnosis for Metachone. So what is Hartman referring to? [details]
