Telephoroides pallida Motschulsky, 1854b: 61 .

Type material examined

Paralectotype (designated here, but see below) COUNTRY UNKNOWN • ♂; “pallida ,, Motsch // “typ” // “ Brasil.” // “etiquette faussa,, Bicellonycha ” [E. Olivier handwriting]; ZIN .

Preservation status

Well-preserved, one of the elytra damaged.

Remarks

Kazantsev & Nikitsky (2008) designated a lectotype from ZMMU. The specimen found at ZIN is therefore a paralectotype. While we cannot tell whether the label is false, the specimen matches the original description in all but the “projected posterior angles of the pronotum” (Motchulsky 1854), which is rather subtle in this putative paralectotype.

Current status

Photuris pallida ( Motschulsky, 1854b) is a junior synonym of Photuris femoralis Curtis, 1839 (senior synonym). Other junior synonyms of the latter are Photuris fulvipes (Blanchard, 1845) , Photuris fruticola ( Motschulsky, 1854b) , Photuris occidentalis ( Motschulsky, 1854b) , and Photuris trivialis Boheman, 1858 .
