Fenusa ianthe Newman, 1837: 261; sex not stated; type locality: "[..]woods of the metropolitan district[..]" (= around London). Asticta ianthe : Newman (1838 : 484), comb. n. Type material examined. Fenusa ianthe . Lectotype (hereby designated) ♀:"[handwritten] Phyllotoma"; "[handwritten] P. ianthe, Newm [printed] Det. in Coll. Ent. Club, Inst.'d 1826. Pres'd 1927 by Club to Hope Coll."; "[red] Lectotype Fenusa ianthe Newman, 1837 des. A. Liston 2013"; "Harpiphorus lepidus (Klug, 1818) det. A. Liston 2013", "DEI-GISHym 19995". Condition: fair, but apical tarsomeres of all legs missing. Discussion. Although the sex of the type specimen[s] is not explicitly mentioned by Newman, the described colour pattern is found only in the female of this species. The comment "This insect appears generally distributed[..]" leads one to suppose that the description is based on more than one specimen. However, Westwood (1839 : 53) wrote "This description is drawn from Mr. Newman's typical specimen, which he has been so kind as to lend me; and of which the fore wings are unlike, the transverse nerve separating the first two submarginal cells being obliterated in one of them[..]". The specimen here designated as lectotype possesses this abnormality (vein Rs+M is missing in the left forewing), and therefore is probably the same specimen as examined by Westwood. The synonymy of Fenusa ianthe with Harpiphorus lepidus , already adopted by Kirby (1882) , is confirmed.
