Abstract:

The syntypes of Vejovis wupatkiensis Stahnke were studied. A lectotype, an allolectotype, and 6 paralectotypes are designated, and the species is redescribed based on the lectotype. It is concluded that the nearest relatives to V. wupatkiensis Stahnke are Serradigitus gertschi (Williams) and Serradigitus torridus Williams and Berke. The current placement of V. wupatkiensis within the genus Serradigitus (i.e., S. wupatkiensis [Stahnke]) is confirmed.
