- Lygaeus hospes var. celebensis Breddin, 1901 (Figs. 1–2) Lygaeus hospes var. celebensis Breddin, 1901 a: 17, 78. Syntypes: [Indonesia:] Celebes [= Sulawesi], Lompobatang; depository not stated. Type material examined. Lectotype (present designation): ♀, “Celebes / Lompobatang X XI 95 / (Gipfelzone über 2500 m) / Dres. Sarasin” [hw], “Coll. Breddin”; pinned, intact (HNHM) (Figs. 1–3). Remarks. This species was described from unknown number of specimens (Breddin 1901 a). The original description and label data provided by Breddin (1901 a) perfectly fit with the specimen examined during the present study therefore it is recognized as a syntype and is hereby designated as lectotype. Four specimens of this variety are present in DEIC (S.M. Blank, pers. comm.), those are probably syntypes too. They were not examined during the present study. This variety has apparently not been cited after its original description (Slater 1964). The single examined specimen indeed represents Spilostethus hospes (Fabricius, 1794), a species widely distributed from Iran to Vanuatu. The variety celebensis has no taxonomic value and it should be considered as a junior synonym of S. hospes.
