  • This lot originally contained 1 specimen. "The five syntypes of the species became intermingled at some point with material of two other non-type lots (MCZ 20216, originally 1 specimen; and MCZ 27408, originally 2 specimens). The single specimen in the present intermingled lot at MCZ retaining a tag from the type series (MCZ 20218) is designated as the lectotype of Curimatus spiluropsis. In order to avoid confusion with the remaining specimens originally in that lot (MCZ 20218) that are now intermingled with MCZ 20216 and 27408, the lectotype is recatalogued as MCZ 92961. The four specimens originally in MCZ 20218 and the irretrievably intermingled non-type specimens from MCZ 20216, and 27408 are consequently all treated as paralectotypes (MCZ 20216, 20218, 27408; USNM 120403).".
