The collection date indicated on the slide does not entirely match the published collection date of the holotype( 23.ii.1921). Lectotype female of  Lymaenon necator[MLPA], here designated to avoid confusion about the status of the type specimens of this species, on slide labeled: 1. “  Lymaenon necatorA.

Paralectotypes [all MLPA]: 1 ♂ on the same slide and under the same coverslip as the lectotype; 1 ♀ and 1 ♂ on slide labeled: “  Lymaenon necatorA. O. 24.iii.1939. José C. Paz.  Cynodon dactylon. J.
