Aspisoma aelianum ( Gorham, 1884)

Aspidosoma aelianum Gorham 1884: 272

We located eight specimens belonging to A. aelianum with seven bearing “syn-type” labels. The specimen not bearing a “syn-type” label also had a locality not matching that listed by Gorham (1884) and is therefore excluded from the paralectotype series. Among the seven specimens matching the type locality, one was found with a “type” label. We designate this specimen bearing a “type” label as the lectotype and the other six specimens with matching locality labels as paralectotypes. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “Paso Antonio,/ 400 ft. /Champion.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)./ Aspidosoma /aelianum,/Gorham” “ Aspidosoma /aelianum/Gorham” “Type.”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Aspidosoma aelianum Gorham /Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”.
