The identity of many insect species described a long time ago is based on succinct, undetailed and unillustrated original descriptions. Although, by the time they appeared, these descriptions served their purpose, the substantial increase in known diversity during the last few centuries has undoubtedly rendered many old descriptions insufficiently documented from a comparative point of view. This is particularly problematic in the cases in which the 
<typeStatus box="[377,486,1530,1554]" pageId="12" pageNumber="1644">holotypes</typeStatus>
are lost, where species identity might be severely compromised. In the case documented in this paper, after gathering convincing information that the

and possibly to designate a 
<typeStatus box="[999,1091,1634,1658]" pageId="12" pageNumber="1644">neotype</typeStatus>
, or to describe them as a new species. After several discussions with colleagues, the first option appeared more problematic because if we described our material as 
<taxonomicName box="[921,1015,1703,1727]" class="Insecta" family="Dytiscidae" genus="Thermonectus" kingdom="Animalia" order="Coleoptera" pageId="12" pageNumber="1644" phylum="Arthropoda" rank="species" species="laporti">

and the lost 
<typeStatus box="[160,259,1026,1050]" pageId="13" pageNumber="1645">holotype</typeStatus>
eventually appeared, there could be some confusion. Also, some presumed differences in dorsal colour pattern (see below) might argue against the recognition of our specimens as 
<taxonomicName box="[352,444,1096,1120]" class="Insecta" family="Dytiscidae" genus="Thermonectus" kingdom="Animalia" order="Coleoptera" pageId="13" pageNumber="1645" phylum="Arthropoda" rank="species" species="laporti">

. On the other hand, if we described our material as a new species, and if the
