  • Lectotype: "Mueller never visited England, nor did he borrow specimens from BM. Since Mueller could never have seen the BM specimen, it cannot be considered in the choice of the lectotype. I therefore overturn Symon's lectotypification, which is contrary to Article 9.10 (Greuter et al. 2000), and choose instead MEL 11651 as lectotype."
