Sisona albitibiana Snellen, 1902<br />

GraphoUtha (Sisona) albitibiana Snellen, 1902, Tijdschr. Ent., vol. 44, p. 69, pi.<br />

5, fig. 2, 2a, b, c (cf ?), Java (part: cf 18 mm, not cf 15.5 and 16.5 mm,<br />

not 9).<br />

To prevent further confusion, a lectotype of this species is selected<br />

herewith. It is the unique male specimen, the type of the original<br />

colored figure, labelled as follows. "W. Java, Depok, 1886, cf"<br />

(in Piepers' hand?), "G. (Sisona) Albitibiana m." (in Snellen's hand),<br />

"<strong>Museum</strong> Leiden. GraphoUtha albitibiana. Det. Snell." slide 2629.<br />

My lectotype label.<br />

Three more syntypes of the original series belong to Sycacantha<br />

inodes perspicua, new subspecies, described above.<br />
