Hypena BRODESCENS Kaye, 1922

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 67, 991–998[995], pl. I: fig. 8. Junior subjective synonym of Peliala munda Warren, 1889 (see Kaye & Lamont 1927); this synonymy overlooked by Poole (1989).

Holotype, male, pinned: also paratype 3, pinned.

Specimen data: Holotype; “Palmiste | 14|3|21” [Handwritten (by Lamont)]. “ Type ” [Handwritten in same hand]. “Lamont | Collection | 1950-16” [Printed]. “ Type ” [Typewritten in red large font] on verso “ Hypena brodescens Kaye ” [Handwritten in pencil]. Label justifying its holotype status by M.J.W.Cock, 1997. Remarks: This specimen taken at Palmiste, Trinidad by Sir N. Lamont on 14th March 1921 is unambiguously the holotype. However the date in the original description is erroneously given as “ 14.v.21 ” but is corrected in Kaye & Lamont (1927). The holotype is illustrated in colour in Pl. I: fig. 8 ( Kaye 1922, Kaye & Lamont 1927). By 1927, Kaye and Lamont (1927) synonymised H. brodescens with Peliala munda Warren, 1889 and transferred them both to the genus Bromolocha. Poole (1989) appears to have overlooked this synonymy.
