TYPE SPECIMENS. Platycoelia nigrosternalis
Ohaus lectotype male at ZMHB labeled
a) “Colombia (Cauca) Distrito de Pereira
Roman M. Valencia 1886.” (typeface), b)
“Platycoelia nigrosterna-lis Ohs. Cotype” (orange
label, handwritten), c) “PLATYCOELIA
NIGROSTERNALIS OHAUS M LECTOTYPE
A.B.T.SMITH 2002” (red label, handwritten
and typeface). Lectotype here designated.
See Methods and Materials section for a
statement of taxonomic purpose. One male
paralectotype at ZMHB labeled a) “Venezuela”
(typeface), b) “Platycoelia nigrosternalis
Ohs. Cotype” (orange label, handwritten),
c) “PLATYCOELIA NIGROSTERNALIS
OHAUS M PARALECTOTYPE A.B.T.SMITH
2002” (yellow label, handwritten and typeface).
One male paralectotype at ZMHB labeled
a) “Merida Venez.” (typeface), b)
“Platycoelia nigrosternalis Cotype Ohs.” (orange
label, handwritten), c) “PLATYCOELIA
NIGROSTERNALIS OHAUS M PARA-
MONOGRAPHIC REVISION OF PLATYCOELIA 95
LECTOTYPE A.B.T.SMITH 2002” (yellow label,
handwritten and typeface). One male
paralectotype at MNHN labeled a) “Colombie
Popayan Abbé Gaujon 1899” (typeface), b)
“Ohaus determ. Pl. nigrosternalis Ohaus M.”
(typeface and handwritten), c) “PLATYCOE-
LIA NIGROSTERNALIS OHAUS M PARA-

(typeface), c) “Cotypus!” (red label, typeface),
d) “Platycoelia nigrosternalis Ohs. Cotype”
(orange label, handwritten), e) “PLATYCOE-
LIA NIGROSTERNALIS OHAUS F PARA-
LECTOTYPE A.B.T.SMITH 2002” (yellow
label, handwritten and typeface). One female
paralectotype from ZMHB labeled a) “Bogota
Columb.” (typeface), b) “Typus!” (red label,
typeface), c) “nigrosternalis Ohaus” (red label,
handwritten), d) “PLATYCOELIA NIGRO-
STERNALIS OHAUS F PARALECTOTYPE
A.B.T.SMITH 2002” (yellow label, handwritten
and typeface). Ohaus (1904b) did not state
how many specimens were in the type series.
The existence and location of other
paralectotypes are unknown. Ohaus (1904b)
described two varieties of this species each
based on one specimen (both housed at
ZMHB). These are infrasubspecific (unavailable)
names that are not regulated by the
ICZN. The specimens labeled by Ohaus as
“types” of these varieties are excluded from
the type series of P. nigrosternalis under ICZN
Article 72.4.1. The male specimen considered
to be of the variety “pygidialis” is at ZMHB
labeled “Ecuador Baron.” and is conspecific
with P. galerana. The male specimen considered
to be of the variety “laevigata” is at
ZMHB labeled “Baranquilla Columb.” Two
female specimens from ZMHB labeled
“VENEZ. Caracas,” and “Columb. Cauca,”
both have Ohaus’ orange “Platycoelia
nigrosternalis Ohs. Cotype” labels. One female
specimen at USNM labeled “Santé Fé de
Bogota.” has Ohaus’ “Ohaus determ. Platycoelia
nigrosternalis Cotype F Ohs.” label. One
male specimen at ZMHB labeled “Santa Jnés
(Ecuad.) R.Haensch S.,” “Typus!,” and
“nigrosternalis Ohaus” These four specimens
are not part of the original type series because
