[ Figs 94–95 ] Original data : “ a. Constancia. Presented by the Rev. H. Clark and by J. Gray , Esq. b. Petropolis. Presented by the Rev. H. Clark and by J. Gray , Esq.” [ two syntypes ] LECTOTYPE ♀ (designated by Thomas 1992: 114 ): purple-margined lectotype disc; green-margined type disc; “CONSTANCIA Jan. y 1857 J. Gray. / 57. 57.”; “36. ARMA LATERALIS ”; “NHMUK 010592364”. Fourth and fifth right antennomeres, second to fifth left antennomeres, right anterior leg, and middle legs missing ( Fig. 94 ). PARALECTOTYPE ♀ : blue-margined paralectotype disc; “ Arma lateralis lurida Walker’s catal.”; “PETROPOLIS Feb. y 1857. J. Gray. / 57. 57”; “NHMUK 010939179”. Specimen carded ( Fig. 95 ) . Current status : Supputius cincticeps (Stål, 1860) (synonymised to Tynacantha cincticeps Stål by Distant 1887: Lix; see Distant 1900a: 63 ; Schouteden 1907: 59 , placed in Supputius Distant ). Note : Thomas (1992: 114) explained: “The type of Arma lateralis Walker was located in the British Museum (Natural History). It is labeled: (a) “Type,” (b) “Constancia, Jan 1857 , J. Gray,” (c) “36. Arma lateralis .” The specimen is a female.” We know from the original description that Walker described the species from two specimens . By distinguishing the syntype from Constancia as “The type”, Thomas has “unambiguously selected [this] particular syntype to act as the unique name-bearing type of the taxon” ( ICZN 1999 , Art. 74.5).
