Lloyd ( Reibnitz 1999 , Rose 2012 , Rose & Zagatti 2016 ). Comments. The identity of Cis crenatus has never been revised, and it is listed as a valid species in all four main Ciidae catalogues ( Dalla Torre 1911 , Abdullah 1973 , Jelínek 2008 , Królik 2020 ). Cis crenatus was described by Carl Reinhold Sahlberg based on an unknown number of specimens collected by Carl Gustaf Mannerheim. Both Sahlberg’s and Mannerheim’s collections are deposited in the Finnish Museum of Natural History ( Silfverberg 1995 ). During a careful examination of the Ciidae collection in MZH, two syntypes (male and female) were found that are clearly conspecific with Cis micans . The following new synonymy is proposed: Cis micans (Fabricius, 1792) = Cis crenatus C. R. Sahlberg, 1836 , syn. nov. Male syntype is designated here as lectotype . I also had the opportunity to study the syntype of Cis hispidus var. albohispidulus Reitter, 1901 deposited in HNHM and can confirm its synonymy with Cis micans , as listed in recent catalogues ( Jelínek 2008 , Królik 2020 ). The syntype bears the label „ Holotype “ added by subsequent curators. Since the number of specimens was not specified in the original description ( Reitter 1901 ), it is clearly a syntype and I designate it here as lectotype .
