Remarks
Haliday evidently collected a long series of this species, much of which he dispersed before making a formal description in an effort to discover whether it was previously known or described (
Haliday 1857
). Hence, as well as the twelve
syntypes
in Dublin, syntypic material of
Labolips innupta
is also to be found in the collections of the Natural History Museum, London (one female, via T.V. Wollaston) and in the Dale Collection at the Hope Department of Entomology, Oxford University Museum of Natural History (two females). The London and Oxford
syntypes
are all labelled “
Labolips extincta
”, a manuscript name Haliday used for this species before settling on the published name. There may also be
syntypes
in the Förster collection at the Naturhistorisches Museum
Wien
,
Wien
,
Austria
, as the description of
Labolips
Förster, 1856
was made by Förster from two females sent to him by Haliday (
Förster 1856: 125
;
Notton & O’Connor 2004
). The London
syntype
is mounted on a card and is set with the wings spread in a similar fashion to the other
syntypes
.
