Figs 41–43

Lychnuris klugii Motschulsky, 1854a: 4 .

Type material examined

Lectotype (designated here) BRAZIL • ♂; “ Lychnuris ,, klugii,, M.” [E. Olivier handwriting]// “typ”// “klugii ,, Dej. Bras” // “Brasil.”; ZIN.

Preservation status

Complete, well-preserved.

Remarks

As pointed out by Silveira et al. (2021), Motschulsky misattributed the authorship of Lychnuris klugii to Dejean. Since Motschulsky, the rightful author, didn’t determine the depository of his type specimens, the ZIN specimen is considered a syntype, and we designate it here as a lectotype of Lychnuris klugii .

Current status

Costalampys klugii ( Motschulsky, 1854a) .
