Triphora (Mastonia) lamyi Selli, 1974 [unavailable]

Original spelling. Triphora (Mastonia) lamyi Selli, 1974

Type material. MNHN-IM-2000-486, syntypes.

Remarks. Selli (1974) cited this name in his treatment of Mastonia maenades Jousseaume, 1898 . He recognized that his specimens could not be separated from those illustrated by Lamy with this name, highlighting that Jousseaume did not illustrate it and that Lamy himself had doubts on his own identifications. He then stated that “if” the holotype was lost or did not correspond with Lamy’s figure, then he would have named his specimens T. (Mastonia) lamyi . Consequently, at the time of his publication, Selli was not yet using this name as valid for a taxon and this name is thus unavailable according to art. 11.5 of ICZN (1999).
