Remarks.

This species was clearly described based on more than one specimen since the author stated "largest example". The NHM collections contain a lot containing a single specimen with an original label in Godwin-Austen’s handwriting stating “Type”. This specimen matches well with the illustration and the measurements given in the original description.
