Photinus radians Gorham, 1884

Photinus radians Gorham 1884: 261

Twenty-four specimens were located that matched both the collecting data given by Gorham (1884) and had a B.C.A. label. Both females and males were included in this series. Here we designate the male specimen in the best condition (unbroken antennae and legs) as the lectotype. The other twenty-three specimens are designated as paralectotypes. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “V. de Chiriqui,/ 25-4000 ft. /Champion.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)/ Photinus /radians. ♂ ”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Photinus radians Gorham /Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”
