Comments.
There is no type depository mentioned by
Yu
et al.
(2016)
for
Troporhogas trimaculata
and no specimens were labelled as types in NHMUK. However, as for other species of
Troporhogas
Cameron
described by Cameron in the same paper (
Cameron 1905
), the type should presumably be in NHMUK.
There was one specimen standing over the name in the main collection, labelled
Troporhogas trimaculata
by Cameron. The label data and appearance of the specimen (
Fig. 11
) match Cameron’s description. Cameron did not mention how many specimens he had whilst writing the description. Although Cameron usually wrote ‘Type’ on his labels, this is not always the case, and the lack of this designation in the present case is presumably the reason why this specimen had not been deposited as a primary type. This specimen has now been labelled as a
lectotype
(3c.2337,
NHMUK010635203
)
