Remarks. As for the previous species, Fallou (1891: 10) didn’t designate a holotype and didn’t mention the number of specimens. Villiers labelled himself these three specimens as “ Syntype ”, added printed labels from MNHN and transferred the specimens from the Fallou’s collection to the general collection.
