(39, 40) Pseudobironium almoranum Champion , aedeagus in lateral view (39), sclerotized structures of internal sac (40), dorsal view; scale bars for aedeagus = 0.2 mm, for internal sac = 0.1 mm.

TYPE MATERIAL of S. banonense : Lectotype, ♀, MNHN. Type locality: Luzon, Los Banos.

TYPE MATERIAL of S. obscuricolle : Lectotype, ♀, MNHN. Type locality: Luzon, Banguio.

DISTRIBUTION: Philippines.

COMMENTS: Both, S. banonense and S. obscuricolle were transferred to Pseudobironium by Löbl, 1970: 126. Each was represented in the MNHN collection by a single specimen that was incorrectly assumed to be the holotype of the respective species ( Löbl, 1970: 126). In fact, these specimens are lectotypes (ICZN, Art. 74.6), designated in that latter paper. The names were synonymized, the aedeagus illustrated, and additional distributional records were given in Löbl (2011a: 308).
