Kostylev det. 1932 // Lectotype ♀ / Celonites tudesculptus / Kostylev, 1935 / des. Fateryga, 2024 [red label] // Zoological Institute / St. Petersburg / INS_HYM_0000329 [pale yellow label]” [ZISP]. PARALECTOTYPES: ARMENIA: Caucasus, Araxesthal, 1 ♀, leg. H. Leder, E. Reitter [ZISP]; Caucasus, Armenisches Gebiet, 1 ♀, leg. H. Leder, E. Reitter [ZISP]. Current status. Valid (Carpenter 2001). Remarks. Kostylev (1935) did not indicate any material examined. Three females with his identification labels belong to the type series according to Art. 74.1.3 of ICZN (1999). Richards (1962) and subsequently Carpenter (2001) listed this species as C. rudesculptus, as in the Kostylev’s labels. However, the only spelling published by Kostylev (1935) is C. tudesculptus and there is also no evidence of an incorrect original spelling in the original publication itself, without recourse to any external source of information, i.e., the conditions of Art. 32.2.1 and Art. 32.5.1 of ICZN (1999) are not met. Therefore, the original spelling C. tudesculptus should be used (Art. 32.3 of ICZN 1999).
