Valid name

Basalys luctuosus (Kieffer, 1911) .

Syntype ♂, BMNH number 9.733.

Primary type data

Dumfries; Type; 470; Cameron coll./ 1910-55.; luctuosa K.

Type locality

Scotland.

Remarks

This species was described from an unspecified number of males. This syntype agrees well with the description, although the basal scutellar pit is not clearly bifoveate; however, this part of the specimen

is dirty, so probably Kieffer was mistaken. The syntype is mounted on a card and has three of the tarsi broken.
