We located sixteen specimens, two of which lacked
syntype
labels and BCA labels. Here we chose to designate the most “complete” specimen as the
lectotype
. Thirteen additional specimens, excluding the two without
syntype
labels, are here designated as
paralectotypes
. Labels for the designated
lectotype
specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “V. de
Chiriqui
,/
25-4000 ft.
/Champion.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)/
Lucidota
/tincta.” “
Lucidota
/tincta”. A red label is added with the following text: “
LECTOTYPE
/
Lucidota tincta

/Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”.
