Tenaspis semifusca ( Gorham, 1881)

Hyas semifusca Gorham 1881: 31

Several specimens were found in the collection, however only one was located with a type label and matching the type locality, and only a single specimen was observed by Gorham (1881). We can therefore confidently designate this specimen as the holotype. Labels for the designated specimen are as follows:

“ Type ” “ Zapote,/ Guatemala,/ G. C. Champion. ” “Type.” “ Hyas ♂ /semifusca/Gorham” “ B.C.A.Col. III.(2)./ Hyas / semifusca,/Type Gorham”. A red label is added with the following text: “ HOLOTYPE / Hyas semifusca Gorham /Determined by/Martin and Powell 2020” .
