content: December, 2006, by Reed A. Watkins: I believe that these two specimens are from Fish's type series. Since Klots (1942, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. 79(6): 423) designated a lectotype, these two are paralectotypes. See also Barnes & Lindsey (1921, Contrib. Nat. Hist. Lepid. N. Am. 4(4): 431) and Miller & Hodges (1990, Bull. Mus. Comparative Zoology 152(2):73) for further discussion of the type series. December 11, 2007, by Reed A. Watkins: This male and female are syntypes of Platyptilus grandis Walsingham unless a lectotype designation of another specimen at the BM has been published, in which case they are paralectotypes.
