Hister pharaonis Schmidt, 1889 and H. schimperi Desbordes, 1917

When describing Desbordes (1917: 184) compared H. schimperi with H. foveifrons Desbordes, 1917 but a detailed examination of the type-specimens enabled to ascertain its identity with Hister pharaonis Schmidt , syn. nov.

Described on a base of two type-specimens so a designation of the lecto- and paralectotypes is needed.
