Syntype ♂ with labels: (Fig. 12) Condition of type: good condition, right flagellomeres glued on its base, anal region of right forewing damaged, posterior right leg glued on the pin below the specimen. Missing parts: medial right leg. Syntype ♀ with labels: (Fig.13) Condition of type: good condition, costal region of right forewing damaged, apex of right hindwing damaged. Missing parts: apical right flagellomeres. Syntype ♂ with labels: (Fig. 14) Condition of type: good condition, apex of right forewing damaged. Missing parts: flagellomeres of both antennae, posterior right tibia, posterior right tarsomeres. Syntype ♀ with labels: (Fig. 15) Condition of type: good condition, cubital region of right hindwing damaged. Missing parts: apical flagellomeres of both antennae. Syntype ♀ with labels: (Fig. 16) Condition of type: good condition, apex of right hindwing damaged. Missing parts: there are no missing parts. Syntype ♂ with labels: (Fig. 17) Condition of type: good condition, apex of right forewing damaged, medial region of right hindwing damaged, apex of left hindwing damaged. Missing parts: there are no missing parts. Syntype ♂ with labels: (Fig. 18) Condition of type: good condition, apex of both right wings damaged. Missing parts: left hindwing. Syntype (probably 3) with labels: (Fig. 19) Condition of type: good condition, cubital region of right forewing and the medial region of right hindwing damaged, abdominal apex damaged making it difficult to identify the sex of the specimen. Missing parts: right flagellomeres. Syntype (sex undetermined) with labels: (Fig. 20) Condition of types: good condition, apex of left forewing damaged, abdominal apex damaged making it difficult to identify the sex of the specimen. Missing parts: flagellomeres. Syntype ♀ with labels: (Fig. 21) Condition of type: good condition, apex of both hindwings damaged. Missing parts: there are no missing parts. Comments: In the original description, McLachlan (1875) did not quote the number of specimens used to describe the species. At the NHMUK collection there are 10 specimens (syntypes), although they all belong to McLachlan collection, only five specimens have a handwriting label of “ Osmylus hyalinatus ML ”. In the introduction of the original article McLachlan mentions: “It is to the collections made by Mr. H. Pryer, of Yokohama, and sent by him to his relative, Mr. Wormald, that I am in debt for an opportunity of studying the greater part of the insects here noticed”. Mr. H. Pryer (Henry James Stovin Pryer, 1950–1988), who became a renowned naturalist in Japan, was younger brother of William Burgess Pryer (1843–1899)—the real relative of Percy C. Wormald (Brother-in-law) (Pereira 2019a,b). Some specimens were collected by Henry James Stovin Pryer (Yokohama) and the remaining specimens from Kobé were collected by George Lewis (1839–1926), an English entomologist with particular interest in Coleoptera (see ref. Ms/ 204 in LSL, 2020). These specimens were part of the large McLachlan collection purchased from the nephew of Robert McLachlan in 1938. Original combination: Osmylus multiguttatus McLachlan, 1870: 195 Current combination: Osmylus multiguttatus McLachlan, 1870 Type locality: [“ Hab. Trebizond ”], Turkey, Trabzon (province), Trabzon (city) (41°00’18”N, 39°43’36”E). Syntype ♂ with labels: (Fig. 22) Condition of type: good condition. Missing parts: apical right flagellomeres. Syntype ♂ with labels: (Fig. 23) Condition of type: good condition. Missing parts: right flagellomeres, anterior right tarsomeres. Syntype ♂ with labels: (Fig. 24) Condition of type: good condition. Missing parts: left flagellomeres. Comments: In the original description, McLachlan (1870) did not mention the number of specimens used to describe the species. Canbulat (2013) redescribed this species and mentioned that McLachlan described this species based on one only specimen, however in the original description there are different measurements of wings and body length, and in NHMUK there are three specimens from the McLachlan collection, which have handwritten “ Trebizond Deyrolle” labels and a “ type ” label, thus we assume that McLachlan used these three specimens to describe the species. In the original description McLachlan mentions that the specimens were collected in 1869 by Th. Deyrolle. Theóphile-Louis Deyrolle (1844–1923), was a French painter, illustrator and ceramicist from a family of entomologists and naturalists who owned a well-known taxidermy shop in Paris (Cheishvilli 2013, LOC 2010). These specimens were part of the large McLachlan collection purchased from the nephew of Robert McLachlan in 1938.
