Remarks: As stated in the Methods and conventions above, we follow the taxonomy used by Price et al. (2003); therefore, we do not recognised any subspecies of Strigiphilus speotyti . Although the lectotype should have been deposited at OSUM, the curator of that collection said that it could not be located (L. Musetti pers. comm. Aug. 2021).
