Remarks

As is often the case with type series from de Bormans, there seem to be far more specimens than listed in the original description. For Labia ridens , he lists five specimens in total ( de Bormans 1894). However, the Museum of Natural History “Giacomo Doria” (Genoa) and the Institut des Sciences Naturelles (Brussels) already house seven type specimens in total ( Srivastava 1981). Since the information from the labels matches the collection data of the type specimens, the material present in the ZMH belongs to the type series as well. In the same publication, Srivastava (1981) also declares a Lectotype for Labia ridens , hence, the specimens at hand are Paralectotypes.
