DISCUSSION. Taeger (1988a) mentioned 2 Ƥ
syntypes
. These specimens were mentioned by Mocsáry (1909) as var. 1. and 2. In the HNHM collection one more female
syntype
was found. This female, corresponding in colour characters to that described by Mocsáry as the typical form, is hereby designated as
lectotype
(
Fig. 41
). It represents an unusually dark form of
variabilis
with the scutellum and terga 2–3 and 6 black, and terga 4–5 with the yellow hind margin interrupted. Furthermore, the sterna bear only a few yellow marks. The remaining two
syntypes
are designated as
paralectotypes
(var. 2, see
Fig. 42
).
