Valid name Basalys pedisequa (Kieffer, 1911) syn. nov. Summary of types Syntype ♀ , BMNH number 9.921. Primary type data Lade at/ Cadder/ 2-8; 209.; Cameron Coll./ 1910-55 . Type locality Scotland . Remarks This species was described from an unspecified number of females. The specimen formerly regarded as the type of L. cursitans by Masner (1965) and Nixon (1980) is actually a syntype of L. cursitans var. alacris Kieffer q.v. A different specimen was found which is considered here to be a true syntype of the nominate L. cursitans . This type has much shorter wings (Kieffer says “remplacées par une écaille”), and a shorter head, and agrees better with Kieffer’s description. This syntype is mounted on a card and is entire. Reinterpretation of the true syntype of L. cursitans shows that it is the same as Nixon’s (1980) interpretation of Basalys pedisequa . Consequently it is removed from synonymy with B. parvus Thomson, 1858 .
