In the original description of
Lagarinthus eustegioides
Meyer (1837)
only one locality is listed. When this locality is cross-referenced with the collections listed in
Drège (1843: 54–55)
the only collection that matches the taxon and locality is
Drège 3438
. As the specimen from P (only scan seen) is a more complete specimen when compared to the fragment at K, it is selected here as the
lectotype
.
