Name

Mycetophagus multipunctatus Hellwig, 1792

Information

We accept Hellwig as author of Mycetophagus multipunctatus (as noted below), Triphyllus punctatus, Typhaea testacea, because his 1792 paper seems to precede that of Fabricius, formerly believed as dating 1792, but actually published May 4, 1793 (see Evenhuis, 1997:248)
