Photinus minusculus Gorham 1884: 268 View in CoL

We were able to locate both specimens Gorham (1884) examined. One specimen was glued to a card dorsally and the other specimen was glued to a card ventrally. Gorham mentioned that he was unable to determine the sexes of both specimens. Here we designated the specimen glued dorsally and bearing two “type” labels as the lectotype. The other specimen is designated as a paralectotype. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “Type” “V. de Chiriqui,/ 2-3000 ft. /Champion.” “Type.” “ Photinus View in CoL /minusculus/ Gorham.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)./ Photinus View in CoL /minusculus,/Gorham”. A red label is added with the following text: “LEC- TOTYPE/ Photinus minusculus Gorham View in CoL /Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”
