Note. In his original description, Kirkaldy (1906) provides a note that the colour and shape of the male “pygofers” are “similar to the previous” (ie Issus vulturnus ). This indicates that he examined at least one male. The specimen labelled as “ holotype ” has not been validated as such by publication and is here regarded as a syntype. If a male specimen can be found in BPBM matching the original collection details, then it is available to be designated as lectotype.
