Cyclophorus cochranei ochraceus Godwin-Austen, 1889

Cyclophorus cochranei var. ochraceus Godwin-Austen, 1889: 334, 335. Kobelt 1902: 127.

Type locality.

Busan Hills [Sarawak, Malaysia].

Type material.

Lectotype NHMUK 1889.12.7.6 ( Fig. 16A; D =41.7 mm, H=27.4 mm, W=5).

Remarks.

The original description clearly stated the taxon was based on two specimens from Busan Hills, and the unique name-bearing type was not stated. However, there is only one remaining specimen from the Godwin-Austen type lot in the NHM collections. Subsequent use of the term “holotype” in Vermeulen (1999: 144) is seemed an unambiguously selected a particular specimen as the name-bearing type. This constitutes a valid lectotype designation ( ICZN 1999: Art. 74.5).
