syntype
with labels: “Cora
acuminata Br.
” [handwritten on yellow paper]; “
TYPE BRUNN
” [printed on a strip of white paper]; “
Holotypus
” [printed on red card]. The species name label in the insect box has the locality “Ceylon” written in the lower left corner. Specimen set with left wings spread and right wings roughly folded; the right antenna and the right front and middle leg are lost. The left middle and right hind legs lack the tarsi, the left hind leg has been reattached with glue and lacks two tarsal segments. Brunner gave no locality for the specimen(s) in the original description, and according to OSF the genus is known from
India
but not
Sri Lanka
, so the locality label in the insect box may be specious. The
holotype
label is unjustified.
