REMARKS

The two data, the type locality and the name of Fontaine, who is known as a collector of crustaceans in South America (see Guinot & Cleva 2002; Appendix), ensure recognition of type series material and justify such a lectotype designation. The entry of material from Chile collected by Fontaine in the CAA is dated 1834.
