Types. There is some confusion about types. Verhoeff (1937: 148) gives measurements for 3 males and 1 female. ZMB holds 1 female syntype, ZMB 12613 (Moritz & Fischer 1975: 246). According to the SysTax database (www.biologie.uni-ulm.de/systax/), ZSM holds 2 lectotypes (!), ZSM 20031546 and 20031547, and one paralectotype, ZSM 20031548. ZSM has been queried about their holdings.
