Macrolampis longipennis Motschulsky, 1854a

Figs 47–49

Macrolampis longipennis Motschulsky, 1854a: 37 .

Type material examined

Lectotype (designated here)

COLOMBIA • ♂; “ Macrolampis ,, longipennis,, Motsch.” [E. Olivier handwriting] // “ Macrolampis ,, longipennis,, Motsch.” // “Typ”// “Columbia.”; ZIN.

Preservation status

Fairly well-preserved, lacking antennae, one mesoleg and one metaleg.

Remarks

Kazantsev & Nikitsky (2008) found a male syntype at ZMMU, which was “badly damaged”, missing its head, as well as its pro and mesothorax. Here, we designate a male lectotype from ZIN, which renders the ZMMU specimen a paralectotype.

Current status

Photinus longipennis ( Motschulsky, 1854a) .
