Lucidota comitata
Gorham 1884: 258
Specimens in the series
Gorham (1884)
examined came from two localities. Fifteen specimens were located. One specimen lacked the B.C.A. label, however, we decided to include it in the
paralectotype
series because it had the same locality labels as the other specimens as well as a blue
syntype
label. The male specimen bearing the red “type” label is here designated as the
lectotype
. The other fourteen specimens are designated as
paralectotypes
. Labels for the designated
lectotype
specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “
♂
”
“Type” “V. de
Chiriqui
,/
2-3000 ft.
/ Champion.” “Type” “
Lucidota
/comitata/Gorh.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)./
Lucidota
/comitata.”. A red label is added with the following text: “
LECTOTYPE
/
Lucidota comitata
Gorham
/Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”.
