Thyatira Violacea Fixsen, 1887 View in CoL , Mémoires sur les lépidoptères 3: 352, pl. 15, fig. 11. Type locality: [ Korea]. In Laszlo & al. (2007: 202) “Pung Tun a ” [misspelling of Pung Tung] was fixed as the type locality for the species after designation of the lectotype. According to Fixsen (1887: 243), Pung Tung was a small village with ca. 12–15 huts situated in a tight river valley 102 English miles NE from Seoul and 129 NE from Chemulpoo at an altitude of about 1700 ft a.s.l. (fig. 23).

Present status: Cymatochrocis violacea ( Fixsen, 1887) : Habrosynini .

Taxonomic remarks: Traditionally has been considered a member of the genus Habrosyne s. lat.; Cymatochrocis is thus its subgenus or a separate genus. We follow the second point of view.

Nomenclatural notes: The type series was collected in the period from 10 to 18 August [1884]; the number of syntypes was not specified. 5 specimens in ZISP originate from O. Herz’s material collected by him from Pung- Tung, but only 2 of them (♂♂: cabinet 217/drawer 6) correspond to the period given in the original description. A male specimen which was designated a lectotype by our colleagues ( László & al. 2007: 202) was collected on 18 August 1884 and bears the following labels: a white off quadrat with wide black frame and inscription with black ink “ ♂ | Pung | Tung” and on thereverse “18/6 8. 84 | Herz”, a white rectangle with printed «Колл. Вел. Кн. | НиколаЯ | Михайловича», red (black framed) quadrat with the printed text “ LECTOTYPUS | Thyatira violacea | Fixsen, 1887 | Designated by Gy. M. | László, G. Ronkay and | L. Ronkay, 2001”, a red rectangle “ SYNTYPUS ♂ | Habrosyne | violaceae [sic!] Fixsen”, a narrow blue rectangle with printed “ex coll. | Zool. Inst. Acad. Sci. | St.Petersburg, Russia ”, a wide white rectangle with narrow black frame and printed text “ Habrosyne | violacea | ( Fixsen, 1887) | det. Gy. M. László & G. | Ronkay, 2001”, and white rectangle with printed “gen. prep. No. | LG 1667 M”.

Another male labeled “10. 8. 84 | 29. 7. Herz” from the collection of the Grand Duke Nikolay Mikhailovich should be considered a paralectotype of the species.

Further topotypes originated from the same series but were collected on “27. 7. 84 | 15 Herz | Coll. Alph. ” (♂) ; “7. 8. 84 | 20. 7. | Herz” (♂) ; “ Coll. Alph. | 5. 8. 84 | Herz” (♀) . These dates do not correspond to the original de- scription and these specimens thus must be excluded from the syntype series; two of them arrived in ZISP at a later date with the S. Alphéraky collection .

Two further specimens were designated with red labels by Gy.M. László, G. Ronkay and L. Ronkay in 2001 as paralectotypes and syntypes of the taxon. The female is labeled: “ Korea ” and “к. Ершова” [Erschoff’s collection] and the male: “ Korea | Jankowsky” and «Колл. Вел. Кн. | НиколаЯ | Михайловича»; neither has any connection with Fixsen’s type series and both must be also excluded from the original syntype series .
