Holopyga mlokosiewitzi hemisimpla Linsenmaier, 1959a

( Fig. 25A–25F )

Holopyga mlokosiewitzi ssp. hemisimpla Linsenmaier, 1959a: 27 (descr.), 186 (cat.).

Type locality. " Klein-Asien. ♂ Type, ♀ Allotype (Konia und Eregli, VII.1952, leg. Seidenstücker) und ♂ Paratype Coll. m." .

Holotype, ♂: Türkei 15.6.58 Eregli Seidenstücker coll. Linsenmaier // ♂ Type Holopyga Dhlb. mlokosiewitzi hemisimpla Lins. Linsenmaier det. 1959 // 30 // NML _ENT GBIF _ Chr 0005233 (ex type-collection).

Paratype, 1♂: Asia minor 14.7.52 Seidenstücker / Konia // ♂ Paratype Holopyga Dhlb. mlokosiewitzi R. ssp. hemisimpla Lins. Linsenmaier det. 1959 // NML _ENT GBIF _Chr0005215.

Remarks. Linsenmaier included three specimens in the type-series: the male holotype, the female allotype, and a male paratype with an unspecified locality. The allotype is missing from the collection; however, another specimen in the type-collection is labeled as allotype with the following labels: Türkei 20.VI.1960 Ankara leg. Seidenstücker coll. Linsenmaier // Allotype Holopyga mlokosiewitzi Rad. ssp. hemisimpla Lins. det. Linsenmaier 1965. NML_ENT GBIF_Chr0005234. This specimen cannot be considered a type because it was collected and identified years after the original description. No other specimens in the collection can be indentified as the missing allotype.

From the original description, it seems that the type locality is Konia and the collecting locality for the allotype and paratype is Eregli, based on the sequence of the localities given in parentheses. However, the specimen labelled as Type is from Eregli, and the paratype from Konia. We prioritised the handwritten labels by Linsenmaier over the published data from 1959a.
