Remarks. We could not locate the holotype and the allotype of Hedychridium mediocre Linsenmaier, 1959a . Very likely, Linsenmaier removed the types from the type collection when the species was synonymised, removing also the original type label, as he already did in other cases ( Rosa et al. 2015). However, in collection there are the paratype specimens collected by Linsenmaier at Soria during the same collecting event in 1957. If needed, and in case that the holotype is not found, it will be possible to select a paratype as neotype.
