Remarks

Nurse (1902) described Notozus kashmirensis based on seven specimens, males and females. Five males and a female are deposited at the NHMUK, whereas the second female, bearing the same labels, is deposited in the Mocsáry collection at HNHM. Kimsey (1986) designated the lectotype based on a male specimen, without pinning any label specifying this. I consider the male labelled as ′Type J̍ by Nurse to be the lectotype selected by Kimsey (Figure 7).
