The specimen bears the following labels: (1) "Z. / fuliginosum/ coll. Big." [round, white label]; (2) " Zodion/ fuliginosumR. D." [lightblue label]. This specimen was determined and labelled by RobineauDesvoidy and can therefore be interpreted as a syntypeof Zodion fuliginosum RobineauDesvoidy, 1853: 156157. Since this specimen appears to be the only known syntypeof Zodion fuliginosumit is herewith designated lectotypeand the following label has been added: " Lectotypus/ Zodion fuliginosum/ RobineauDesvoidy, 1853/ des. Stuke & Clements, 2005" [red label, printed]. The synonomy with Zodion cinereum(Fabricius, 1794)proposed by Chvála & Smith (1988)is supported.
