Description
smithi (Podisus) Distant 1889: 319. [Fig. 190]
Original data: “ Hab. MEXICO, Orizaba (H. H. Smith & F. D. G.).” [syntype (s)]
LECTOTYPE ♀ (designated by Thomas 1992: 97): purple-margined lectotype disc; red-margined type disc; “Orizaba. H. H. S. & F. D. G. Dec 1887.”; “B.C.A., Hem. I. Podisus smithi Dist. ”; “NHMUK 010592331”. Fourth and fifth right and left antennomeres missing (Fig. 190).
Current status: Podisus nigriventris Distant, 1880 (synonymised by Thomas 1992: 97).
Note: Thomas (1992: 97) explained: “The type of Podisus smithi, a female, was located in the BMNH. It is labeled: (a) “Type,” (b) “Orizaba HHS + FDG Dec 1887 BCA Hem. Podisus smithi Dist. ”” 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).
