Summary of types

Glen Lyon; Type; 408.; Cameron Coll./ 1910-55.; atricornis.

Type locality

Scotland, Glen Lyon.

Remarks

The original description was based on an unspecified number of males, of which three were found. All the syntypes agree well with the description. Kieffer evidently changed the name between labelling the specimens and writing the description; the connection is clear from the names: atricornis and nigricornis are closely related, since ater and niger are both Latin words meaning black. The lectotype is mounted on a card and is entire. This specimen belongs to Psilus fuscipennis following the interpretation of Nixon (1980) and the two species are synonymized here.
