120 R, W. CROSSKEY 
have not been located and are presumed lost. LECTOTYPE 9. Austratia (no other data) 
(in Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, standing in Macquart collection under refer- 
ence number 2311). Paralectotype: one 2, same data as lectotype (MNHN). 
Both lectotype and paralectotype are in bad condition, the latter consisting only of the thoracic 
shell and right wing; the lectotype is eaten out in places, lacks antennae and mouthparts and 
has been glued in places. The lectotype bears a label in Guérin-Méneville’s writing which reads 
‘Rutilia inornata. guer. ic. R. a. (type) Nelle holl.’. 
Rutilia lucigena Walker, 1861a : 242. 
Described from both sexes but number of specimens not stated, though actually consisting 
of three conspecific syntypes. LECTOTYPE 4. INponEs1AN NEw Guinea, Dorey 
(A. R. Wallace) (in British Museum (Natural History), London). Paralectotypes: onedg, one 9, 
same data as lectotype (BMNH). 
Rutilia pretiosa Snellen van Vollenhoven, 1863 : 15. 
Described from one g and one 2 syntype, both still in Leiden Museum. LECTOTYPE 4. 
InpDoneEs14, Moluccas, Ternate (Bernstein) (in Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden). 
Paralectotype: one g, same data as lectotype except collector Forsten (also in RMNH, Leiden). 
The lectotype bears a circular white label with the words ‘Bernst. Ternate’ in ink, and the 
paralectotype bears a similar label with the words ‘Forsten Ternate’. 
Rutilia pubicollis Thomson, 1869 : 530. 
Described from an unstated number of § specimens from ‘Sidney’; the type-material actually 
consists of two identically labelled and set syntypes in Stockholm. LECTOTYPE. AustRa- 
L1A, New South Wales, Sydney (Kinb.) (in Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, Stockholm). Para- 
lectotype: one 3, same data as lectotype (NR, Stockholm). 
Each of the two syntypes has a small rectangular printed label reading ‘Sidney’ and another 
rectangular printed label reading ‘Kinb.’. 
Rutilia saturatissima Walker, 1861b : 287. 
Described from both sexes without statement of the number of specimens. Type-material 
consists of one syntype of each sex (conspecific) LECTOTYPE $. Inponesia, Moluccas, 
Batjan [publ. as ‘Batchian’] (A. R. Wallace) (in British Museum (Natural History), London). 
Paralectotype: one 9, same data as lectotype (BMNH). 
Rutilia speciosa Erichson, 1842 : 273. 
Erichson did not state the sex of the original material or the number of specimens, but 
Enderlein (1936 : 430) showed that there were three 9 syntypes collected by Schayer in Tas- 
mania which he referred to as ‘die Typen Erichson’s’. Two of these syntypes have been seen. 
LECTOTYPE 2. AusrTRALta, Tasmania (Schayer) (in Museum fiir Naturkunde der Humboldt- 
Universitat, Berlin). Paralectotype: one 2, same data as lectotype (MNHU, Berlin). 
The lectotype bears two rectangular blue labels with the handwritten words ‘Vandiem. 
Schayer’ and ‘Speciosa Er.’ respectively (these probably both in Erichson’s hand), and also a 
yellow rectangular label with the printed number ‘3554’. The paralectotype bears a label 
reading “Tasmanien Schayer’ in Enderlein’s writing. The third syntype has not been seen 
but is probably still in the MNHU, Berlin, collection. 
Rutilia spinipectus Thomson, 1869 : 530. 
Described from an unstated number of specimens of both sexes from ‘Sidney’; the type- 
material consists of one ¢ and one 2 syntype. LECTOTYPE g. Austraria, New South 
Wales, Sydney (Kinb.) (in Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, Stockholm). Paralectotype: one 9, 
same data as lectotype (NR, Stockholm). 
Each of the syntypes has a small rectangular printed label reading ‘Sidney’ and another 
rectangular printed label reading ‘Kinb.’. 
Rutilia volucelloides Walker, 1861b : 289. 
Walker described this species from both sexes, but only a single syntype now exists; this is
