Remarks. The lectotype and paralectotype of Plusiotis cupreomarginata F. Bates, 1904 were listed as present in BMNH by Moore et al. (2017) but lectotype status was inferred from specimen labels; it cannot be ascertained whether any designation was ever published. In the interest of consistency with the published literature, and to clarify the application of the name Plusiotis cupreomarginata F. Bates, 1904 , the specimen with number NHMUK 014589465 is here designated as lectotype.
