Telephoroides lineatocollis Motschulsky, 1854b: 59 .

Type material examined

Lectotype (designated here)

NORTH AMERICA, COUNTRY UNKNOWN • ♂; “var. lineatocollis ,, Motsch.” // “ Photuris ,, pensylvanica [sic],, var. lineatocollis ,, M.” [E. Olivier handwriting]// “Amer. bor.”; ZIN.

Preservation status

Head fallen from thorax, lacking one of the protarsus and one mesoleg.

Remarks

Motschulsky misattributed the authorship of Telephoroides lineaticollis to Dejean.However, Motschulsky (1854) is the rightful author. Kazantsev & Nikitsky (2008) found a female syntype at ZMMU. Here, we found another syntype, male, from ZIN, which we designate as a lectotype.

Current status

Photuris lineatocollis ( Motschulsky, 1854b) .
