Comments.
Synomymised with
Netelia
(
Toxochiloides
)
latro
(Holmgren 1868)
by
Kaur & Jonathan (1979)
, the type series of
Paniscus ferrugineus
consists of two
syntypes
. V.K. Gupta had labelled one as a
lectotype
in 1967 but this designation was not published. This specimen was referred to as a homotype (i.e., a specimen compared with a primary type) by
Kaur & Jonathan (1979)
. As the
syntypes
belong to clearly different species in different subgenera, it is necessary to designate a
lectotype
. Gupta’s choice corresponds with the specimen that does belong to the subgenus
Toxochiloides
Tolkanitz
, and seems to be conspecific with
N. latro
, so this specimen (NHMUK010635206;
Figs 15
,
16
) is designated the
lectotype
. The other
syntype
(NHMUK010635207;
Fig. 17
) is a female of an undetermined species of the subgenus
Netelia
Gray.
