Types.

Milan et al. (1974: 86) stated that Brusina (1897) had indicated one of the specimens illustrated by him (pl. 4, fig. 1) as type. However, it is uncertain whether the specimen actually derives from the original type series. The specimen is stored in the Croatian Natural History Museum, Zagreb, coll. no. 2968-614/1-2.
