Remarks. Móczár (1997: 39) designated a female syntype housed in MNHU as the lectotype. Three paralectotypes are housed in the Radoszkowski collection (ISEA-PAN). In the original description, Radoszkowski did not mention the number of specimens examined, but in the type series there were males and females, and the number of specimens examined was not less than eight (comparing the dates of collection), thus we consider the specimens in ZMMU and ISEA-PAN as paralectotypes. They match the original description and the lectotype in MNHU.

Current status. Cleptes morawitzi Radoszkowski, 1877 .
