Type material:
Almeida and Milléo (2000)
incorrectly designated a ZMNB specimen of
Hinda regularis
as
lectotype
because it had the same characteristics described by Erichson. Drs. Manfred Uhlig and Bernd Jaeger (
ZMHB
) discovered this error; the appropriate specimen in the
ZMHB
bears a
lectotype
label attached by Gordon in 1971, but that designation was not published. We here designate the following specimen as
lectotype
: a male, with genitalia in glycerin vial, with the following labels: white [4441], green [
regularis Er.
,
Peru
Tsch.], white [
LECTOTYPE
,
Hyperaspis regularis Erichson Gordon 1971
], green [Hist.-Coll (
Coleoptera
) Nr. 4441,
Hyperaspis regularis Er.
,
Peru
, v. Tschudi, Zoo. Mus. Berlin], red [
HOLOTYPUS
,
Hyperaspis regularis
Erichson, 1847
, labeled by
ZMHB
2003].
Erichson (1847)
gave no indication how many specimens he had when describing this species. Therefore we consider a
lectotype
designation necessary in spite of the “
HOLOTYPUS
” label.
