Lectotype [as holotype] (♀), designated by Ball and McCleve (1990: 94), in MHNP. Etymology. The specific name honors Leonhard Gyllenhal [1752-1840], Swedish military officer and entomologist. His main publication, Insecta Suecica , for which he was awarded the gold medal of the Swedish Academy of Sciences, took him about 30 years to complete. Gyllenhal left his collection to the Royal Swedish Society of Sciences in Uppsala; it was eventually transferred to the Uppsala University Museum of Zoology.
