Allanwatsonia hodeva flava (Hoffmann, 1936)

Hoplarctia hodeva flava Hoffmann, 1936: 63 .

TYPE LOCALITY. — Mexico, Morelos, Zacualpan.

TYPE SPECIMEN. — Lectotype male designated by Ferguson (1985: 246) ( AMNH).

REMARKS

The specimen Ferguson designated as lectotype of flava was the specimen described and illustrated by Hoffmann (1936: 63) as the holotype of the variety confluens of flava. The name confluens was infrasubspecific and not available. Because the type specimen and type locality of flava is unknown, Ferguson chose the holotype of confluens as the lectotype.

Hoffmann (1936: 63) described an other infrasubspecific name for flava:

Hoplarctia hodeva flava var lugubris Hoffmann, 1936: 63 . — Type locality: [ Mexico], Mor [elos], Cuernavaca. — Type specimen: Holotype male (?).

Genus Sonorarctia Ferguson, 1985 ( Fig. 20B )

Sonorarctia Ferguson, 1985: 241 .

TYPE SPECIES. — Arctia fervida Walker, 1855 , by original designation.
