Remarks

The name Loxotropa morleii was introduced as a nomen nudum by Morley (1929) and then made available in 1931. Morley credited the name to Chitty, and had a manuscript description from him placing this species in Trichopria ; however, by placing it in Loxotropa Förster, 1856 and comparing it to other species of Loxotropa , it appears that Morley has significantly changed Chitty’s manuscript and was largely responsible for the text, and so is credited here as the author. The specimen is mounted on a card and is very dirty.
