Lucidota complanata Gorham 1884: 257 View in CoL

Gorham (1884) did not mention how many specimens he saw; however, he did list multiple localities. We located thirteen specimens from both Volcan de Chiriqui and Bugaba. The specimen bearing the red “type” label is here designated as the lectotype. The other twelve specimens are designated as paralectotypes. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “ ♂ ” “Type” “Bugaba,/ 800-1500ft. /Champion.” “Type.” “ B.C.A.Col. III.(2)./ Lucidota View in CoL /complanata/Gorham. ♂ ” “ Lucidota View in CoL /complanata/Gorh. ♂ ”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Lucidota complanata Gorham View in CoL /Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”.
