Syntypes
2 ♂♂
: same label information as above but without the identification label.
Type locality:
Afrique orientale anglaise: Shimoni [
Kenya
: south of
Mombasa
].
Current status:
Valid species (
Coscarón 2002: 32–35
).
Remarks:
A brief “preliminary diagnosis” of
Pachysandalus orientalis
, which nevertheless represented a proposal of the name in an available way, was published by
Jeannel (1917)
, without designating
holotype
or mentioning the number of type specimens. A subsequent detailed redescription (
Jeannel 1919: 252–253
) mentioned
four males
from two different localities. We only found
three males
in the MNHN, all from Shimoni; the male from “Tiwi, st. [station] n° 5,
nov. 1911
” could not be located. As no
holotype
was designated in the original description, and no
lectotype
has subsequently been designated, the specimens are to be considered as
syntypes
, with no regard to their labels (
ICZN 1999
, Arts. 73.1.3, 73.2).
