Storozhenkoium pupula (Bolívar, 1912), comb. nov.

( Figs. 164 , 165 , Map 16)

Ocytettix pupulus Bolívar, 1912: 264. Lectorype, here designated. Female. SEYCHELLES, Silhouette Island. Depository: NHMUK.

Remarks. Apparently, this species was described based on a female and a male, although París (1994) reports a male and a female deposited in London (NHMUK), and additional specimens from the Cambridge collection (DZUC). The female deposited in London with collection code NHMUK 010924448 is selected as the lectotype, as most of the original description was based on it, and it was the specimen depicted in the plate of the original description ( Fig. 164 ). The male with code NHMUK 010924447 is selected as paralectotype, with the same locality data as the female ( Fig. 165 ).
