Taxonomic remarks. Roewer saw eight females from Mecutine, Konde and Unjika (1933: 438). There is a declared ♀ syntype at the SMF (catalog no. 9904706) from Vallée du Poungoue Mozambique, and 2♀ syntypes (catalog no. 8016, 15732) at the ZMB, one from Uhehe, and one from Konde, Unjika ( Moritz & Fischer, 1980). The ZMH specimen comes from the village of Mecutine and is part of the type series, but the specimens from either SMF or ZMB need to be examined in order to designate a lectotype.
