More Information
Summary:Okanagana occidentalis (Walker) was described from specimens collected in British Columbia. As no holotype was designated we identify a syntypic series in the Natural History Museum, London and designate a lectotype to clarify the identity and type locality of the species. Present day Chilliwack, British Columbia is identified as the type location. We would like to thank Daniele Perez-Venero of Barry University (USA), Dennis Duffy at the Archives of British Columbia (Canada), and Janet Mason, Provincial Toponymist, Geographic Data BC, Ministry of Environment, Lands & Parks, British Columbia (Canada) who helped us to locate Chulukweyuk and Gillian Watson, CABI (BMNH) for her helpful comments on an earlier draft of the manuscript.
