TYPE SPECIMENS. Platycoelia lutescens
Blanchard lectotype female at MNHN labeled
a) “59 49” (round, green label, handwritten on
underside), b) “P. lutescens. Cat. Mus. Cusco
(Pérou). M. Gay.” (green label, handwritten),
c) “PLATYCOELIA LUTESCENS BLAN-
CHARD F LECTOTYPE A. B. T. SMITH
2001” (red label, handwritten and typeface).
Lectotype here designated. See Methods
and Materials section for a statement of taxonomic
purpose. Blanchard (1851) did not indicate
how many specimens were in the type
series. The location and existence of paralectotypes
are unknown. Claude Gay collected
the lectotype during his trip to Perú in 1839
(Blanchard 1851, Papavero 1971). Type locality:
Perú.
Leucopelaea albescens Bates lectotype
male at BMNH labeled a) “Co-type” (round
label with red border), b) “92-24.”, c) “Cotopaxi
Ecuador. 12000 feet. Ed. Whymper.”, d) “Leucopelaea
albescens” (handwritten), e) “LEU-
COPELAEA ALBESCENS BATES DET. A. B.
T. SMITH 1999, LECTOTYPE” (red label,
handwritten and typeface), f) “Platycoelia
LUTESCENS BLANCHARD M Det: A.B.T.
Smith 1999” (typeface and handwritten). It
has been suggested that the lectotype designation
of Leucopelaea albescens by Smith and
Paucar-Cabrera (2000) is invalid (see
Pulawski and Kerzhner 2001). The lectotype
designated by Smith and Paucar-Cabrera
(2000) is valid under the current ICZN rules,
even though there was no statement of taxonomic
purpose was included (Article 74.7.3).
Smith and Paucar-Cabrera (2000) was accepted
in its final form on 23 November 1999,
before the fourth edition of the ICZN came
into affect. The International Commission on
Zoological Nomenclature (1999) states in Article
86.1.2 that “If an author submits for publication
before 1 January 2000 a work
containing names or nomenclatural act proposed
under the provisions of the third (1985)
edition of the Code which was then in force,
but the work is not published until after 31
December 1999, the names or acts are not to
