Collection remarks. G. Hübner on the original label may refer to Georg Hübner, a photographer and salesman who travelled the Amazon, Ecuador and Bolivia in 1888–1891 and pioneered in the photography of Indigenous people for a ‘ type collection’ produced for commercial sale ( Moschik & Weber-Unger 2012). He permanently emigrated to Brazil in 1897 and traveled to the headwaters of the Orinoco ( Hübner 1889), a journey during which the specimen was most likely collected. The female holotype was redescribed by Maury (1982).

Current systematic position. Ammotrechidae , Xenotrecha huebneri ( Kraepelin 1899) .
