Note. The revision of American Ochterus including the description of O. hungerfordi was published divided in two parts, the first published in January 1943 ( SCHELL 1943a) and the second in April 1943 ( SCHELL 1943b). The species was first introduced in the key, which is sufficient to make it available ( ICZN 1999: Art. 13.1.1), without any mention of type specimens ( SCHELL 1943a: 32), while the original description including the holotype designation appeared in the second part ( SCHELL 1943b: 37). As a holotype is defined as ‘the single specimen upon which a new nominal species-group taxon is based in the original publication’ ( ICZN 1999: Art. 73.1), in this case, the subsequently designated ‘holotype’ must be considered the lectotype according to ICZN (1999: Art. 74.5).
