Designation of the lectotype of Hydroporus sumakovi Poppius, 1912 Poppius (1912: 107) described this taxon after two specimens collected by G. Sumakov on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago (Russia) (circle 3 with question mark in Fig. 13). This taxon is usually treated as a junior subjective synonym of H. acutangulus (Zimmermann 1931: 139; Zaitzev 1953: 168, 1972: 177). We have studied one syntype from the FMNH (see also Biström 1987: 37) and want to take the opportunity to designate the lectotype of this taxon: Lectotype (by present designation): 3, "N.
