lateralis (Arma) Walker 1867a: 138–139 . [Figs 94–95]

Original data: “ a. Constancia. Presented by the Rev. H. Clark and by J. Gray, Esq. b. Petropolis. Presented by the Rev. H. Clark and by J. Gray, Esq.” [two syntypes]

LECTOTYPE ♀ (designated by Thomas 1992: 114): purple-margined lectotype disc; green-margined type disc; “CONSTANCIA Jan. y 1857 J. Gray. / 57. 57.”; “36. ARMA LATERALIS ”; “NHMUK 010592364”. Fourth and fifth right antennomeres, second to fifth left antennomeres, right anterior leg, and middle legs missing (Fig. 94).

PARALECTOTYPE ♀: blue-margined paralectotype disc; “ Arma lateralis lurida Walker’s catal.”; “PETROPOLIS Feb. y 1857. J. Gray. / 57. 57”; “NHMUK 010939179”. Specimen carded (Fig. 95) .

Current status: Supputius cincticeps (Stål, 1860) (synonymised to Tynacantha cincticeps Stål by Distant 1887: Lix; see Distant 1900a: 63; Schouteden 1907: 59, placed in Supputius Distant).

Note: Thomas (1992: 114) explained: “The type of Arma lateralis Walker was located in the British Museum (Natural History). It is labeled: (a) “Type,” (b) “Constancia, Jan 1857, J. Gray,” (c) “36. Arma lateralis .” The specimen is a female.” We know from the original description that Walker described the species from two specimens. By distinguishing the syntype from Constancia as “The type”, Thomas has “unambiguously selected [this] particular syntype to act as the unique name-bearing type of the taxon” (ICZN 1999, Art. 74.5).
