Remarks
The type material of
quercicola
consists of
four specimens
(Dozier, 1933), all slide mounted and kept at USNM. These include three reared specimens (from
Tetraleurodes
sp.
),
one female
(on one slide) and
two males
(both on same slide), and an additional male (on one slide), identified as a female in the original description, taken on the foliage of the same tree (and on same date) as the host of the reared specimens. The reared female has been labelled as
holotype
, the two reared males as
allotypes
, and the caught male as
paratype
. However, there are no indications in the original description that any of the
four specimens
was selected as primary type. The only specimen given a status in the original description is the caught specimen (cited as female in the original description), and this was regarded as a
paratype
. Due to this we have selected the reared female as
lectotype
and the remaining
three specimens
(all males) as
paralectotypes
.
