Remarks. Semenov-Tian-Shanskij (1932) described Ellampus hirsutus based on ten syntype specimens and two variations (α and β). Kimsey (1986) designated the lectotype in ZIN. A few other specimens in ZMMU are placed together with the paralectotypes, but they do not belong to the type series. In the Semenov-Tian-Shanskij collection (ZIN, box 4) there are three specimens labelled as “ Lectotype ” and “ Paralectotype ” (2). Two lapsus calami are found in the type series. The syntype collected at Iskander-kul was labelled as the 15th of June instead of the 16th of June; the syntype labelled as aberratio α was collected 24th of July instead of 23th of July.

Current status. Philoctetes hirsutus (Semenov, 1932) (transferred to Philoctetes Abeille de Perrin by Kimsey & Bohart 1991: 255).
