Type data:
Syntype(s) whereabouts unknown (numbers and sexes unknown), Britain. - Clothilla ocelloria Weber, S.E. 1906. The possible dissemination of tubercle bacilli by insects. New York Medical Journal 84: 884-888 4 figs [886] [Weber's taxonomic work was somewhat informal, with inconsistent spelling of names].
Type data:
Status unknown, Lancaster, Pennsylvania (probably) (this was where S.E. Weber carried on his medical practice).
Taxonomic Decision for Synonymy
- Gurney, A.B. 1939. Nomenclatural notes on Corrodentia, with descriptions of two new species of Archipsocus. Journal of the Academy of Science Washington 29(11): 501-515 15 figs [509] (discusses and clarifies the complex nomenclatural problems associated with this species, designates it as the type species of Troctes by which Troctes becomes a synonym of Trogium, having the same type species)
