Appendix III. Excluded Names
This list of names comprises published names that have been included in Desmoncus but for which no type specimens
are available, or the type specimens are insufficient for identification (i.e., the specimen lacks reproductive structures), or
the type host institution is unknown, or the name has been transferred to another genus, or the specimen is an illustration.
In particular, no type specimens of Barbosa Rodrigues have survived and all his types are drawings. These have not
proved possible to identify with any certainty and all Barbosa Rodrigues’ names are treated here as Excluded Names.
Note that both Glassman (1972) and Wessels Boer (1965) designated lectotypes for many of Barbosa Rodrigues’ (1875,
1888, 1902) species; however, these should have been neotypes because they were not designated from the original
material.
