LECTOTYPE.— ZISP 8800 View Materials , from “Sistan”, Iran (designated by Szczerbak 1974). However , Lantz (1928) referred to five syntypes ( ZISP 8798–8799 View Materials ) and ZISP 8800 View Materials is only mentioned by him, but not indicated as type. Therefore, the status of the specimen ZISP 8800 View Materials should be investigat- ed.
