:last-of-type
The :last-of-type
CSS pseudo-class represents the last element of its type among a group of sibling elements.
/* Selects any <p> that is the last element of its type among its siblings */ p:last-of-type { color: lime; }
Note: As originally defined, the selected element had to have a parent. Beginning with Selectors Level 4, this is no longer required.
