Roell, Talita, Lemaître, Valérie A., Webb, Michael D. & Campos, Luiz A., 2023, An annotated and illustrated Type Catalogue of the predacious Shieldbugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae) in the Collection of the Natural History Museum, London, Zootaxa 5232 (1), pp. 1-105 : 95

viridicatus (Neoglypsus) Distant 1881: 27–28. [ Figs 233–235 ]

Original data: “ Tokei [= Tokyo. Indeed, according to Iwatake (2003: 253), “In the period approximately between 1868 and 1889 [the early Meiji period], the same Chinese characters which today are pronounced ‘Tokyo’ were read ‘Tokei.’”], Japan.” [syntype (s)]

LECTOTYPE ♀ (designated by Thomas 1994: 174): purpled-margined syntype disc; red-margined type [H. T.] disc; “Tokei Japan ”; “ viridicatus Dist. [Distant’s handwriting]”; “Distant Coll. 1911–383.”; “NHMUK 010592300”. Fifth right antennomere, fourth and fifth left antennomere missing ( Fig. 233 ).

PARALECTOTYPE ♀: blue-margined paralectotype disc; “Tokei Japan ”; “Distant Coll. 1911–383”; “BRITISH MUSEUM”; “DYNORHYNCHUS DYBOWSKYI Jakov. Det. V. Gapud 1980”; “NHMUK 010592301”. Fourth and fifth right and left antennomeres, and right posterior leg missing ( Fig. 234 ) .

PARALECTOTYPE ♀: blue-margined paralectotype disc; “ Japan (Lewis)”; “Distant Coll. 1911–383.”; “Chosenji” [a temple in the Western suburbs of Tokyo]; “BRITISH MUSEUM”; “NHMUK 010592302”. Fourth and fifth right and left antennomeres missing ( Fig. 235 ) .

Current status: Dinorhynchus dybowskyi Jakovlev, 1876 (synonymised by Horváth 1889: 326).

Note: When Thomas (1994: 174) stated: “ holotype female of Neoglypsus viridicatus was examined in BM(NH)”, he could only have been referring to the female specimen bearing the red-margined type [H. T.] disc; we therefore accept Thomas’s mention of the “ holotype female” as a valid fixation of lectotype by inference of the “ holotype ” ( ICZN 1999: Art. 74.6).
