Remarks: We also have 1 ♂ lectotype and 20 ♂♂ paralectotypes . We are not sure why Shelley decided to designate a lectotype . Seemingly this was done in his revision of the genus ( Shelley 1997 ), but there he cites the holotype and makes no mention of a lectotype . The only clue would be his acknowledgement of G. G. Edwards for sending him the syntype series of Motyxia porrecta . Below are the data of the lectotype and the paralectotypes : Lectotype : 1 ♂. MALE PARATYPES // MOTYXIA PORRECTA Causey & Tiemann // Polydesmidae : Xystodesmidae // Motyxia porrecta Causey & Tiemann / Male SYNTYPES , Sig.
