COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann designated as type his specimen collected at Anderacha on 11 March 1901, adding that he had a number of examples from Kaffa. Neumann (1906: 243) confirmed that the type was his specimen no. 994, the only one collected on 11 March 1901, and listed six specimens that comprised his type series. Four paratypes came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection: Anderacha, AMNH 699418 About AMNH (no Neumann number), male, March–April 1901 ; AMNH 699420 About AMNH (1003), male, 16 March 1901 ; AMNH 699421 About AMNH (no Neumann number), female, March–April 1901 ; Buka-wori, AMNH 699422 About AMNH (973), male, 4 March 1901. The remaining paratype is Neumann’s no. 1002, male, Anderacha, 16 March 1901 .
