[ Mylabris voigtsii Escherich, 1904 ]

Mylabris Voigtsii Escherich, 1904: 33 .

Two ‘syntypes’ are deposited in NMPC (general collection).

SYNTYPE (unsexed specimen):‘OST-TURKESTAN / Bagratsch-Kul./ Kurla 5.1902.Coll.Hsr.[p] // Zonabris / Voigtsi

Escherich / Cotype [hw, black frame]’. SYNTYPE (unsexed specimen): ‘OST-TURKESTAN / Bagratsch-Kul. / Kurla 5.1902. Coll.Hsr. [p]’.

Current status. Junior subjective synonym of Mylabris (Micrabris) quadrisignata Fischer von Waldheim, 1823 , see BOLOGNA (2008).

Remark. The type status of the specimens listed above is doubtful. The species was described based on three specimens only, and as the specimens in NMPC bears no original Escherich’s identification label, it is possible that they represent rather ‘topotypes’ than syntypes.
