REMARKS

Davie (2002: 213) indicated that the type status was uncertain. There is no doubt, however, that the above-mentioned female specimen was identified by H. Milne Edwards and corresponds to the type material. The mention on the label “Museum Britannique!” punctuated by an exclamation mark corresponds to the indication in the CAA of an exchange with the British Museum in 1849. According to Recommendation 73F of the Code, this specimen is hereby designated as lectotype.
