Photuris fasciata Gorham, 1881

Photuris fasciata Gorham 1881: 56

Current name Pyrogaster telephorinus (Perty, 1833) , synonymy by McDermott 1966

A single female “type” was located matching the type locality, it is unclear if Gorham (1881) saw more than this, however his body measurement is not listed as a range and there is no description of a male. Because of the uncertainty this female is herein designated as the lectotype. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows:

“ ♀ ” “ Type ” “Sinanja,/Vera Paz./Champion.” “ B.C.A.Col. III.(2)./ Photuris /fasciata,/Gorham ♀ ” “ Photuris / fasciata, Gorh. ” “ Bicellonycha /fasciatus Gor./ I.H.Davidson det. 1973”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTO- TYPE / Photuris fasciata Gorham /Designated by/Martin and Powell 2020” .
