Discussion: Koopman (1993) included fimbriatus in this species and noted that it was probably conspecific with capaccinii (see Wallin, 1969), but see Corbet (1978 c), Yoshiyuki (1989), and Corbet and Hill (1992), who argued that fimbriatus and capaccinii are distinct species. Reviewed in part by Yoshiyuki (1989) and Yoon (1990).
