Photinus incongruus Gorham 1884: 258 View in CoL

Eleven specimens were located, however, Gorham (1884) does not specify how many he examined. Ten specimens were collected in Panama (Volcan de Chiriqui), and one specimen was collected in Guatemala (Chinantla). Both localities are listed by Gorham (1884). The male specimen bearing two “type” labels is here designated as the lectotype. The other ten specimens are designated as paralectotypes. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “ ♂ ” “Type” “Type.” “V. de Chiriqui,/ 4000-6000 ft. / Champion.” “ Photinus View in CoL /incongruus/Gorh.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)./ Photinus View in CoL /incongruus,/Gorham ♂ ”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Photinus incongruus Gorham View in CoL /Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”.
