Photinus signaticornis Gorham 1884: 267 View in CoL

We located four specimens, however, one specimen had locality data that did not match Gorham (1884). We here designate the specimen bearing the red “type” label as the lectotype. The other two specimens with label data matching that given by Gorham (1884) are designated as paralectotypes. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “Type” “Bugaba,/ Panama./Champion.” “Type.” “ Photinus View in CoL /signaticornis/ Gorham.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)./ Photinus View in CoL /signaticornis,/Gorham”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Photinus signaticornis Gorham View in CoL /Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”
