TYPE SPECIMEN(S) Lectotype ♀, coll. Walsingham nr. 26695, NHMUK 010305341, designated by Kobayashi et al. 2018: 118; Paralectotype ♂, coll. Walsingham nr. 28505; Paralectotypes 17 specimens (2♂, 1♀, 14 gender not stated), coll. Walsingham, genitalia slide BM 2755♂, BMNH.
STATUSSpecies
COMMENTLectotype ♂ and Paralectotyoe ♂ which is dissected (genitalia slide BM 2755) are wrongly equipped with the same ID number NHMUK010305341 (Kobayashi et al. 2018). This is against the principal of the unique digital specimen numbering and it is wrong.
