Remarks
There are two females agreeing with Nixon’s description and labelled by him as
Galesus magnificus
. Of these, one is labelled as “type” and the other “
paratype
”; however, since neither a unique
holotype
or
lectotype
has yet been fixed, all of the type series is syntypic (Article 73.2). Both
syntypes
are mounted on card points and are entire.
