Lucidota comitata Gorham 1884: 258 View in CoL

Specimens in the series Gorham (1884) examined came from two localities. Fifteen specimens were located. One specimen lacked the B.C.A. label, however, we decided to include it in the paralectotype series because it had the same locality labels as the other specimens as well as a blue syntype label. The male specimen bearing the red “type” label is here designated as the lectotype. The other fourteen specimens are designated as paralectotypes. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “ ♂ ” “Type” “V. de Chiriqui,/ 2-3000 ft. / Champion.” “Type” “ Lucidota View in CoL /comitata/Gorh.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)./ Lucidota View in CoL /comitata.”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Lucidota comitata Gorham View in CoL /Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”.
