Remarks.

The author indicated that five specimens were examined, and the original description included an illustration and one set of measurements. The NHM type collections contain a lot of five specimens with a label in Godwin-Austen’s handwritingstating “Type”. The specimen with red wool inside the aperture, illustrated in the original description and very close to the given measurements, is figured herein (Fig. 10D). The other two specimens housed in the Zoological Survey of India (no. 3081) are also considered as syntypes.
