Comments. Synomymised with Netelia (Toxochiloides) latro (Holmgren 1868) by Kaur & Jonathan (1979), the type series of Paniscus ferrugineus consists of two syntypes. V.K. Gupta had labelled one as a lectotype in 1967 but this designation was not published. This specimen was referred to as a homotype (i.e., a specimen compared with a primary type) by Kaur & Jonathan (1979). As the syntypes belong to clearly different species in different subgenera, it is necessary to designate a lectotype. Gupta’s choice corresponds with the specimen that does belong to the subgenus Toxochiloides Tolkanitz, and seems to be conspecific with N. latro, so this specimen (NHMUK010635206; Figs 15, 16) is designated the lectotype. The other syntype (NHMUK010635207; Fig. 17) is a female of an undetermined species of the subgenus Netelia Gray.
