Remarks

The label data of the specimen from the UMZC, shown in Fig. 32 View Fig B’, state that it was compared with the type that was already in Turin (MRSN) by the time Crotch obtained his specimen. In fact, we observed one unlabeled specimen of M. limbatus in the MRSN, but it must be examined again to confirm that it was the specimen used by Lacordaire before designating it as a lectotype.
