Chlorogomphus brunneus
Oguma, 1926
, p. 87, “'Formosa”,
♀
. When I examined the
type
material in 1935 there were three female specimens:
1♀
Formosa;
1 ♀
Okinawa,
17. V. 1912
;
1 ♀
Okinawa, Sakaguchi. Judging from Oguma’s description (1926) which is apparently based on a single specimen his
type
seems to be the last one, this assumption can also be proved by the figures of the measurements of the specimen. But here is a big discrepancy that Oguma stated the locality of it to be “Formosa (Uchida)”. The Formosan specimen, one of the three and the first one as noted above, very unfortunately does not belong to true
brunneus
but to
risi
Chen (1950)
. However I decided to fix the
lectotype
upon the Okinawa-Sakaguchi specimen.
