Current status: Supputius typicus Distant, 1889 .

Note: Thomas (1992: 113) explained: “The type of Supputius typicus Distant , a female, was located in the British Museum (Natural History). It is labeled: (a) “Type,” (b) “ Supputius typicus Distant ,” (c) “Bugaba 800- 1500 ft, Champion.”” From Distant’s original description, we do not know whether Distant had one or more specimens, nor the sex. We have found only one specimen in the collection but cannot be sure it was the only one Distant had. By giving its labels data and calling the specimen “the type”, Thomas designated it as the lectotype by inference of “the type” ( ICZN 1999: Art. 74.6).
