Type material.

NHMUK 1975464, lectotype; 1975465, two paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The specimen figured by Reeve has been selected lectotype by Breure (1978); the paralectotypes are less slender. On the basis of molecular analyses of Breure and Romero (2012), the genus Kara Strebel, 1910 has been placed in the family Orthalicidae ( Breure 2011).

Current systematic position.

Orthalicidae , Kara thompsonii (Pfeiffer, 1845).
