Lectotype (here designated):—[Sicily] Ophrys sicula Tin., Palermo , s. d., V. Tineo ( PAL87520 !, Image available at: http://147.163.8.207/ zoomify/view_img.asp?ic=87520).

Note:—In PAL we found one specimen (PAL87520) bearing two identical labels “ Oprhys sicula Tin, Palermo, Tin [manu V. Tineo]” and seven individuals belonging to the same collection. In FI we found one herbarium sheet (FI002695) bearing one label (“ Ophrys sicula Tin, Palermo, Tin [manu V. Tineo], O. lutea b Parl. Fl. It, da Tineo in Maggio 1847 ”) referred to two individuals and another label (“ Ophrys lutea b Parl. Fl. It, da Inzenga in Genn. 1847”) close to other 2 individuals. The lectotype here designated (PAL87520) matches the protologue and corresponds to the current application of the name referred to a species occurring in Central Mediterranean (Delforge 2016).
