XLV: fig. 4. Combination still valid (see Poole 1989 ). Holotype , male, pinned: Specimen data : “Palmiste | 18/5/21 ” [Handwritten (by Lamont)]. “ Metalectra sp.

Label by M.J.W.Cock. 1977, justifying holotype status of species. Remarks : This specimen collected at Palmiste, Trinidad on 18th May 1921 by Sir N. Lamont is unambiguously the holotype .
