Description

inaequalipennis Bolívar 1904: 452-453 [Pyrgomorpha].

Desconozco la procedencia. Unspecified number of ♂.

Holotype ♂ with labels: “ Kulu 6755/1” [“Kulu” handwritten and numerals printed on a square of white card]; “1530” [handwritten on a square of white card]; “1530” [handwritten on a square of white card]; “inaequalipennis” [handwritten on white card]; “ Pyrgomorpha inaequalipennis Sauss. Ind. or.” [handwritten on yellow paper]; “ Pyrgomorpha inaequalipennis Bol., HOLOTYPE, Det. D.K.McE. Kevan, 1969” [handwritten on white card with “Det. D.K.McE. Kevan, 19” printed]; “Holotypus” [printed on a disk of white card with a printed red margin].

Specimens set with wings spread. The end of the right antenna, the entire left antenna, the last tarsal segment of the right front leg, the entire left front leg, left middle leg and right middle leg are lost. The hind legs have been reattached with glue, the right lacks the claws. There are two other ♂ and a ♀ with the Kulu label and it is possible that at least some of these were also seen by Bolivar; if this is the case the specimen labelled as holotype can be regarded as the lectotype (designated inadvertently by Kevan, 1970: 851 when he referred to it as the holotype without further comment). Box X5.

Pyrgomorpha inaequalipennis Bolívar, 1904.
