Type material examined

Paralectotype (designated here) COLOMBIA • ♂; “vittata ,, Motsch” // “Typ” // “Columbia.” // “ Pseudolychnuris ,, vittata M.” [E. Olivier handwriting]; ZIN.

Preservation status

Antennae, metalegs, and abdomen lacking.

Remarks

Kazantsev & Nikitsky (2008) designated a lectotype at ZMMU. Therefore, the ZIN specimen is a paralectotype. Kazantsev &Nikitsky (2008) designated a lectotype at ZMMU.Therefore, the ZIN specimen is a paralectotype. Motschulsky (1853: 30) described Pseudolychnuris and only listed Pseudolychnuris vittata in the publication, without providing a separate description for the species. A description for Pseudolychnuris vittata was given by Motschulsky in a later publication (1854a: 9). Rendering P. vittata invalid would threaten the stability of this genus, since no other species were listed by the author. However, the article 12.2.6 of the International Code for Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999) ensures combined descriptions for monotypic genera and their respective species described before 1961. Therefore, by the provisions of article 12.2.6, the publication date of Pseudolychnuris vittata is 1853, and not 1854 as given in Ladino-Peñuela et al. (2022).

Current status

Pseudolychnuris vittata Motschulsky, 1853 (reviewed in Ladino-Peñuela et al. 2022).
