Macrolampis infirma (Gorham, 1884)

Photinus infirmus Gorham 1884: 260

Gorham (1884) stated that he saw “about two dozen” specimens of this species, evenly split between males and females. Gorham (1884) also mentioned that the males were noticeably larger than the females. We were able to locate eighteen specimens at the NHM that did have some noticeable variation in size and elytral coloring. Seventeen of these specimens are designated as paralectotypes as they match the information given by Gorham (1884). One specimen, specifically from the locality Bugaba as per Gorham (1884), is here designated as the lectotype. Labels for the designated lectotype specimen are as follows: “SYN-/TYPE” “ ♂ ” “Type” “Bugaba,/ Panama./Champion.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)./ Photinus /infirmus,/Gorham ♂ ” “ Photinus /infirmus/Gorham” “Type.”. A red label is added with the following text: “ LECTOTYPE / Photinus infirmus Gorham /Designated by/Martin and Saxton 2020”
