Aethalotus horni Breddin, 1907

(Fig. 9)

Aethalotus horni Breddin, 1907a: 42 . Syntypes: ♂, ♀, Ceylon [= Sri Lanka]: Puttalam and Anuradhapura; depository not stated.

Type material examined. Lectotype (present designation): ♀, “ Ceylon / W. Horn”, “Anu- / radhapura”; mounted on card, segment IV of both antennae lacking (DEIC) (Figs. 9–10). Paralectotype: “Puttalam / Ceylon Horn”; mounted on card, segments III–IV of left and segment IV of right antenna lacking (1 ♀, DEIC).

Remarks. According to the original description the syntype series included male(s) too, therefore it can be stated with certainty that a part of the specimens (paralectotypes) remains undiscovered. A. horni is a valid species distributed in southern India and in Sri Lanka. Its diagnostic characters were discussed and illustrated and a detailed description was presented by Scudder (1963).
