Holotype:

BPBM 5452.

Type locality:

near Wau, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea.

Remarks:

The original spelling bennetti ( Hoser 2000) was emended ( Wüster et al. 2001, Schleip 2008) because the taxon honours two persons (Art. 31.1.2, ICZN 1999) and should have been suffixed with -orum, a correction proposed by Wüster et al. (2001) and subsequently corrected by Schleip (2008).
