Gorham (1881) examined four specimens, two in the British Museum collection and two in Sallé’s collection. A single female syntype from Sallé’s collection was located bearing a “Sp. figured” label and is therefore designated as the lectotype. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows:

“ SYN-/ TYPE ” “Durasnal” “Salle Coll.” “200” “232” “Type. 4. f. 6/Sp. figured.” “ B.C.A.Col. III.(2)./ Photinus /salvini,/Gorham” “ NHMUK 013584678 About NHMUK ”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Photinus salvini Gorham /Designated by/Martin and Powell 2020” .
