Binburrum ephippiatum ( Wilson, 1926) .

Figure 1D .

Techmessa ephippiatum Wilson, 1926: 40 .

Material examined (see Pollock (1995) for details on other specimens). Lectotype ex. Queensland: HOLOTYPE & / PARATYPE / Techmessa / ephippiatum / Wilson // F. E. Wilson / Collection // 2135 - Type / 2136 Paraty // Techmessa / ephippiatum / Wilson / TYPE. // BlackallRgs. Q. / Oct. 1920. / F.E. Wilson. ( MV).

Distribution. Australia: southeastern Queensland.

Remarks. The type material of Techmessa ephippiatum consists of two specimens on a single cardboard plate, the right specimen of which is marked as “Ty” in red ink. Pollock (1995) designated this specimen as lectotype (with the other specimen designated a paralectotype); however, the label that was placed on the pin by Pollock indicated a holotype and paratype. This was in error, and a new “ lectotype / paralectotype ” label will be substituted for the erroneous label.
