Paratype
♀
: same data as
holotype
, but "
Allotypus
" (NMP).
C o m m e n t: According to the original description, the type material is based on a male
holotype
, a female
allotype
, and a male
paratype
(
DVOŘÁK 1996
). The
holotype
and the
allotype
were located in the collections of the NMP. An examination of these specimens revealed that both of them are females and that they belong to
Zyras
sensu strictu, clearly not to
Orphnebius
(
Figs 56-59
). The species is closely allied to
Zyras hirtus
(KRAATZ, 1859)
,
Z. setosivestis
SCHEERPELTZ, 1965
, and related species.
