Description

Lucidota incompta Gorham, 1884

Lucidota incompta Gorham 1884: 253

Eight specimens were located in the collection. Four of the specimens had both syntype labels and locality labels which fell within the elevation range listed by Gorham (1884). The other four specimens had other elevations not within this range. One specimen was found bearing a red “type” label and a “sp. figured” label. That specimen is here designated as the lectotype, while the other three syntypes are designated as paralectotypes. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “Type” “V. de Chiriqui,/ 4000-6000 ft. /Champion.” “Type./Sp. figured.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)./ Lucidota /incompta, ♂ /Gorham” “ Lucidota /incompta/ Gorh.”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Lucidota incompta Gorham /Designated by/ Martin and Saxton 2020”.
