Discussion.
Of the
syntypes
, I examined three mounted on a single card (
Fig. 13
) in INHS. An attached “
paratype
” label states “4Ƥ Ƥ”, suggesting that one female was lost from the card. The label data matches the published data though the collection date is written as “
10.X.05
”. The species is one of the comparatively rare species of
Lyrcus
with distinct, white, parallel-sided lanceolate setae (
Figs 14–16
). Further, although the fore wing (
Fig. 17
) has a single row of conspicuously long admarginal setae (
Fig. 18
: lower frame), these are entirely overlain by dorsal discal setae (
Fig. 18
: upper frame).
Lyrcus cyaneus
is typical for
Lyrcus
in other respects, including a plesiomorphic metapleural structure (
Fig. 19
), three anelli (
Fig. 16
), and absence of a malar depression (
Fig. 14
). The propodeum (
Fig. 20
) has a complete median carina, plical carinae that extend from the anterolateral plical depressions posteriorly through the nuchal furrow, and a transverse paraspiracular carina that does not extend mesally to the plical carina. It also lacks a costula and has a transverse band of short crenulae along the anterior margin (
Fig. 20
). No
lectotype
is designated at this time because the fate and condition of the
syntypes
in ZMHB is unknown.
