- moellendorfi Fixsen, 1887 Figs 9, 10 Thyatira Möllendorfi Fixsen, 1887 (in synonymy to Thyatira aurorina Butl.), Mémoires sur les lépidoptères 3: 351, pl. 15, fig. 12. Thyatira möllendorfii Fixsen (see pl. 15, fig. 12)—misspelling. Type locality: “nur von Korea ” [Pung Tung after the lectotype: Central Korea]. According to Fixsen (1887: 243), Pung Tung was a small village with ca. 12-15 huts situated in a tight river valley 102 English miles NE of Seoul and 129 NE of Chemulpoo at an altitude of about 1700 ft a.s.l. Present status: Cymatochrocis aurorina (Butler, 1881) or Cymatochrocis aurorina ssp. moellendorfi (Fixsen, 1887): Habrosynini. Taxonomic remarks: The taxon is better considered a continental subspecies of the Japanese aurorina (Butler, 1881), which is now considered as lying within Habrosyne s. lat. Traditionally this taxon has been considered as a member of the genus Habrosyne s. lat.; Cymatochrocis is thus its subgenus or a separate genus. We follow the second point of view. Nomenclatural notes: Several syntypes had been collected by O. Herz from 4 to 23 July and they all constitute the original type series; totally six specimens are found in ZISP. The lectotype of the taxon is here designated. It is a male in fine condition (coll. ZISP: cabinet 217/drawer 3) which is supplied with the following labels: a quadrat with a wide black frame with inscription « ♂ | Pung-Tung» and «8 7 84 | 26 6 | Herz» on the reverse [this signifies the date in the European Calendar followed by the date in the old Russian style], and white rectangle with a printed text «Колл. Вел. Кн. | НиколаЯ | Михайловича». The specimen is supplied with a red lectotype label and corre- sponding text. Five more syntypes (2♂♂ and 3♀♀) collected on “18 7 84 | 6 Herz”, “4 7 84 | 12 8 | Herz”, “4 7 84 | 22 6 | Herz”, “18 7 84 | 6. 7 | Herz”, “23 7 84 | 11 7 | Herz” are considered paralectotypes and designated with the corresponding red rectangular labels. Comment: The name of the taxon was incorrectly introduced as Thyatira Möllendorf ii Fixsen on color plate 15 of the same issue, and the name of the person [he was highly likely Otto Franz von Möllendorff, 24.December 1848 — 17.August 1903, a German malacologist who had worked for a long time in Eastern Asia] was also given as Möllendor ff on page 352—but we continue to use the taxon spelling as it was originally used in the description of the species.
