Amauronyx paganettii BLATTNÝ & BLATTNÝ, 1916

Type material: Lectotype ♂, present designation: “Kreta, Paganetti / A. Paganettii, det. Blattný / Amauronys Paganettii Bltny / Lectotype 1956 det. Kamp. / Typ / paganettiii Blatt., Cl. Besuchet det. VI.1958 / Lectotypus Amauronyx paganettii Blatt. ♂, Cl. Besuchet dét. I.1975 / ex Orig. Samlg. J. Breit Wien / Type / Lectotypus designiert Brachat” (NHMB) . Paratypes: 1 ♀ [without head and pronotum]: same data as lectotype, but “ Amauronyx spec. / Paralectotypus” (NHMB) .

Comment: The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from “ Kreta ” without further specification of the locality (BLATTNÝ & BLATTNÝ, 1916). Two syntypes are deposited in the Frey collection at the NHMB, one of them a male and the other a female in very poor condition. The male had been examined and subsequently labeled as the lectotype by Claude Besuchet in 1958 and 1971, respectively. The designation, however, was never published. In order to fix the present interpretation of this species, this specimen is here designated as the lectotype. The identity of the female paralectotype remains uncertain.
