Remarks: All the specimens labelled as “typus” by Berg and treated as syntypes by Carvalho & Webb (2005), are considered here as lectotype and paralectotypes (ICZN, art. 74.1.1). This species was originally described as Tomaspis Amyot & Serville by Berg (1879) and transferred to Kanaima Distant by Distant (1909: 213).

Paralectotype 1732/2 lacks right forewing, both prothoracic legs and tarsi of left mesothoracic leg. Paralectotype 1732/3 lacks both prothoracic legs and right mesothoracic leg.
