Extract

In his treatment of Chrysops wiedemanni Kröber, Philip ( 1959, pp. 203-4) stated, “Syntypes in Hamburg were casualties in the war, but one intact syntype female remaining in the Canadian National Collection is available as lectotype.” Later, Philip (in litt. Jan. 19, 1960) explained, “my wording was ambiguous about the lectotype of Chrysops wiedemanni. I indicated its availability in contrast to the loss of all other syntypes in Hamburg but this was intended to officially designate your specimen as lectotype and it should be so labelled”.
