Comments. The number of the syntypes of Eryxia grandis is unknown. I designate a lectotype to fix the identity of this species, as available taxonomic works do not allow an unambiguous identification of specimens. A female specimen from the original type series from Abyssinia differs in several aspects from the other specimens of C. (F.) grande grande and possibly has to be assigned to a different species.
