Leptolobus insignis
Description
Original data: “ Hab. GUATEMALA, San Gerónimo (Champion).” [syntype (s)]
LECTOTYPE ♁ (designated by Thomas 1992: 98): purple-margined lectotype disc; red-margined type disc; “San Geronimo Verapaz”; “ insignis Dist. (type) [Distant’s handwriting]”; “NHMUK 010592324”. Fourth and fifth left antennomeres, and right posterior leg missing (Fig. 87).
Current status: Podisus insignis Distant, 1880.
Note: Thomas (1992: 98) explained: “I examined the male type of Podisus insignis. It is located in the British Museum (Natural History) and is labeled: a) “Type,” b) “ insignis Dist. (type),” c) “San Geronimo, Verapaz.”. From Distant’s original description, we do not know whether Distant had one or more specimens, nor the sex. We have found only one specimen in the collection but cannot be sure it was the only one Distant had. By giving its labels data and calling the specimen “the type”, Thomas designated it as the lectotype by inference of “the type” (ICZN 1999: Art. 74.6).
