Types in other museums
Holotype: Senckenberg Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, 162440.
Paratypes: Senckenberg Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, 162442 (19 paratypes) + Brandt collection C256 (120).
Remarks: An inscription on the label of the sample sent by Rolf A. Brandt to Siro de Fez reads "Tr. (Xeroptyca) serrulata semilaevigata (18–4–57)". We believe that the new taxon was described later by Brandt (1959); the material housed at the MVHN should thus be considered part of the type series.
