Three syntype specimens were located out of the four males Gorham (1881) mentions seeing. One male also had several type labels and is therefore designated as the lectotype, while the other two specimens are designated paralectotypes. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows:

“ SYN-/ TYPE ” “Type” “Cordova” “454.” “ ♂ ” “ Mexico./Salle Coll.” “ B.C.A.Col. III.(2)./ Photinus /albicauda,/Gor- ham” “Type.” “P./ albicauda/Gorham.”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Photinus albicauda Gorham /Designated by/Martin and Powell 2020” .
