Ochterus hungerfordi Schell 1943

Ochterus hungerfordi Schell, 1943 Ochterus americanus (partim, misidentification): UHLER (1876): 336 (specimen from Cuba). Ochterus hungerfordi Schell, 1943a: 32, 35 (key to species, illustration). LECTOTYPE (designated by SCHELL 1943b: 37, as holotype):, Cuba: ‘Mantanzas, Mumuri Valley’ (SEMC). Ochterus hungerfordi: SCHELL (1943b):37 (original description, differential diagnosis); DRAKE (1952): 74 (checklist); ALAYO (1971):4 –5 (key to species); ALAYO (1974): 34 –35 (key to species); HECKMAN (2011): 459 (key to species, illustration). Material examined. CUBA: Sierra Maestra, x.[19]28, 1 ♀, Dr. Rambousek lgt., L. Hoberlandt det., P. Kment revid. (NMPC). Distribution. Neotropical Region: Caribbean Islands: Cuba (SCHELL 1943b; DRAKE 1952; ALAYO 1971, 1974; MUÑOZ RIVIAUX et al. 2010a,b; NARANJO et al. 2010). Note. The revision of American Ochterus including the description of O. hungerfordi was published divided in two parts, the first published in January 1943 (SCHELL 1943a) and the second in April 1943 (SCHELL 1943b). The species was first introduced in the key, which is sufficient to make it available (ICZN 1999: Art. 13.1.1), without any mention of type specimens (SCHELL 1943a: 32), while the original description including the holotype designation appeared in the second part (SCHELL 1943b: 37). As a holotype is defined as ‘the single specimen upon which a new nominal species-group taxon is based in the original publication’ (ICZN 1999: Art. 73.1), in this case, the subsequently designated ‘holotype’ must be considered the lectotype according to ICZN (1999: Art. 74.5).
