PARALECTOTYPE ( ♀ ): ‘162 [p] // Murray,typ!, Dohrn coll.[hw] // Coll.Nickerl,Mus.Pragense [p] // TYPUS [p, red label, black margin]’ // Sphaenognathus lindenii / Murray, 1857 / Paralectotypus / des.A. Bezděk, 2016 [p, red label]’. Current status. Valid species. Remark. Murray published the article with description of S. lindenii nearly simultaneously in two different journals ( MURRAY 1857 , 1858 ). The description was based on an unstated number of specimens of both sexes. Murray had numerous specimens at his disposal ( MURRAY 1857: 225 ); he supplied some of them to other entomologists ( MURRAY 1857: 222 ). The designation of lectotype was published by CHALUMEAU & BROCHIER (2007) . Because there is no doubt about the authenticity of the specimen housed in NMPC, we consider it an additional paralectotype . Syndesinae
