Type number. Type 3b.1274. Specimen # NHMUK010881039 About NHMUK

Type status. Holotype.

Sex. Male. Smith (1874) described the type as a female, but it is male.

Type locality. Hyôgo Prefecture, Honshû, Japan.

Label data. First label, ‘ Type /CM’ (round label, with red margin; first line printed and second line handwriting); second label, ‘B.M. TYPE /HYM./3b.1274’ (square label; first and second lines printed and third line handwriting); third label, ‘Hiogo/ Japan.’ (square label; first line handwriting and second line printed); fourth label, ‘74/16’ (round label; handwriting); sixth label, ‘ Ophion /pungens/ Type.
