Lewis states that he had ‘several specimens’. Only the one designated as the 
lectotype has been located. The others may have been given away by Lewis. 
Meristhus (Sulcimerus) quadripunctatus Candéze

LECTOTYPE (present designation). g, India bor. [Janson]; Janson coll. 
1903.130; Meristhus quadripunctatus Cdze. Type ex coll. Laferté [ Janson] (BMNH). 
The description is based on an unrecorded number of specimens from ‘Sylhet 
[E. PAKISTAN] et Assam’ received from de la Ferté Sénectére and Deyrolle. The 
discrepancy in the published locality and the label and the absence of Candéze’s 
determination label is probably due to Janson (see p. 276). The material from the 
Deyrolle collection has not been located.
