The type slide is in the collection, but there are two female speci- 

 mens on it and no designation as to which should be considered the 

 holotype. Therefore, both female specimens on this slide must be 

 considered syntj^pes. The female nearest the right-hand label on the 

 slide marked "type" is here designated lectotype, and circled with a 

 diamond point pencil.
