Remarks. Linsenmaier (1959a) described Holopyga chrysonota appliata apparently based on females only, without designating an allotype. However, the collection contains a male specimen from Turkey labelled as a paratype. This male likely corresponds to the specimen collected in the locality “Klein-Asien” mentioned in the original description. Additionally, the identification label matches those of the other paratypes in the series. For these reasons we consider this male to be a paratype.
