granulata Saussure, 1884: 67 View in CoL [ Arphia ].
Amer. boreal., Florida. Unspecified number of ♀ .
Lectotype ♁ (designated by Otte, 1984: 312) with labels: “ Georgie, 599 65” [printed on white paper]; “ granulata Sss., Amer. sept.” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Arphia granulata Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “TYPE D. Otte, 1982” [handwritten in pencil on white card]; “ Lectotype designated by Otte 1984 ” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with wings spread; the right middle leg lacks the tarsi. There is another ♁ specimen with the same data label. The original description gives the locality as Florida and only mentions ♀ explicitly, and so the status of these specimens as syntypes is questionable although the measurements are consistent with those given in the description. There is a ♀ with labels: “ granulata Sss. , Florida” [handwritten on white card with printed margin]; “ Arphia granulata Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Syntype of A. granulata Sauss. 1884 (based on sex and locality). Hollier 2011” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with wings spread; both antennae, the last tarsal segment of the right front leg and the tarsi of the left middle leg are lost. This ♀ is definitely a syntype, but it is probable that the specimen designated as lectotype by Otte was not part of the type series (having a different locality and sex) making the designation invalid. Box V1.
