( Fig. 35–36 View Figure 26–36 )

Orchesia castanea Melsheimer 1846: 57 (type locality: “ Pennsylvania ”)

Orchesia castanea lectotype (sex unknown), labeled: “Melsh. / LECTOTYPE (bottom) and Paralectotypes Orchesia castanea Melsh. design. D A Pollock 2000 / MCZ TYPE 35390”. [lectotype by present designation]. Laliberté (1966), who essentially revised the genus Orchesia for North America, did not examine or discuss any of the Melsheimer types. Although this and the following species of Orchesia were mentioned by Melsheimer (1806) in a list in a catalogue (and lacking description), they were not validated until Melsheimer (1846). Thus, the original genus for these two species is Orchesia , and not Hallomenus View in CoL (as indicated by Laliberté 1966).
