LECTOTYPE
♀
, present designation:
CHILE
(
NMPC
, transferred to alcohol vial) (Labels, kept in box
IV.17
: Museum Paris / Chili / Gay 15-43 (printed); 15 / 43 (handwritten round label);
Type
(red, printed)).
Remarks.
In the original box, there were three specimens pinned together as
types
of
P. stictica
. The three species lack a locality label, “Valdivia” as indicated in the original description. The specimen bearing an identification label with Blanchard's handwriting was detached from the plastic sheet, the second specimen is a
Gripopterygidae
fragment as indicated above, the third specimen is a female in relatively good condition and designated as the
lectotype
. Females of two recently described
Neonemura
Navás, 1919
species remained unknown (
Vera 2008
,
Stark & Morse 2013
), thus, the specific identity of
N. stictica
is doubtful and should be treated as a nomen dubium. Regarding to the known females of valid
Neonemura
species, the
lectotype
resembling
N. barrosi
Navás, 1919
(
Figs. 21–23
).
