Holl.n. [ New Holland, Australia] Ull. (handwritten by Burmeister(compare Horn & Kahle 1937: TafelXXI, Fig. 31), purple label with black border) | my lectotypelabel; in ZMH.   Burmeister (1855)did not define the type series, seeing an unknown number of males (vide Articles 73.1.2, 72.1.1). Britton (1978)and Houston & Weir (1992)listed a “ holotype” male from Neu-Holland in ZMH. As Britton (1978)and Houston & Weir (1992)provided no discussion and did not label any specimen in ZMH, neither mention of a holotypeconstitutes a valid lectotypedesignation (vide Article 74.5). To stabilise nomenclature, I designate the specimen in ZMH the lectotype. 2990895344 ZMH Australia Burmeister Tafel 27 478 2 lectotype
