Photinus subfuscus Gorham 1884: 265 View in CoL

Gorham (1884) does not state how many specimens he saw but does mention he examined both males and females of this species. We located seven specimens total each bearing a B.C.A. label and syntype label. Here, we designate a male specimen with a red “type” label as the lectotype and the other six specimens as paralectotypes. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “Type” “ ♂ ” “Tolé,/ Panama /Champion.” “Type.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)./ Photinus View in CoL /subfuscus,/Gorham” “ Photinus View in CoL /subfuscus/Gorh.”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Photinus subfuscus Gorham View in CoL /Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”
