Type locality —“bord méridonal du Kunene”, Sud-Ouest de l’Afrique” [southern border of Kunene, Namibia].

Remarks. Both Connolly (1912: 257, 1939: 554) and Pain (1961: 23) stated “ Type in Zurich Museum”; however, neither identified an actual specimen and therefore neither constitutes a lectotype designation (Code, Art. 74.5).
