Abstract: 15. Spongophora lutea de Bormans, 1894 Original combination Spongophora lutea de Bormans, 1894: 383–385. Current combination Paralabella lutea (de Bormans, 1894) — Steinmann, 1989: 583–584. Type material Syntype (1 female; dried, on cardboard) MYANMAR • 1 ♀ (Fig. 52); “Sphongophora / lutea Borm. / sp. n. // Kotype // Paratypoid // Carin Ghecù / 1300–1400 m / L. Fea V.88 // Birma / Leon. Fea leg. / vend. 1.1.1895. // A. de Bormans / determ. // ZMH 76581 ” Type locality Carin Ghecú, Carin Chebà & Carin Asciuii Chebà [Myanmar]. Current status Valid species. Remarks The original species name should actually be Spongiphora lutea, as de Bormans (1894) seems to have misspelled the genus. Furthermore, it seems like a wrong collection date (May instead of March) is written on the specimen label. As this particular information was added in writing on the otherwise printed label it might be a mistake.
