Remarks

There are one female and one male agreeing with Nixon’s description and labelled by him as Galesus longiceps, both of which are labelled as “type”. Since neither a unique holotype or lectotype has yet been fixed, both specimens are syntypes (Article 73.2). The female syntype is mounted on a card point, the male syntype is mounted on a card, and both are entire.
