Lymantes nadineae

Reference should be made to the original description of
L. nadineae
(
Paquin and Anderson 2009
)
, as the slightly revised description in
Anderson (2016)
included specimens of
L. reddelli
. Similarly, as the measurements and body form ratios given in
Anderson (2016)
for
L. nadineae
included specimens of
L. reddelli
, these need to be revised as follows: body length
3.5–4.2 mm
, body width
1.1–1.3 mm
, pronotum L/
W 1.30
–1.50, elytra L/
W 2.00
–2.10. The larger, more robust specimens reported in
Anderson (2016)
are
L. reddelli
.
