Remarks. Collected by Miss O. Abernethy and presented to AMG by Miss Alice Pegler ( Tilbury 2010). The description refers to two immature males as the types. Both specimens in very poor condition and dehydrated (presumably dried out at some stage). A dorsal photo of the head of one of the type specimens is illustrated on Plate XXVII figure 3.
