Type material.

NHMUK 1975241, lectotype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

The material is accompanied by a label "the type specimen". However, Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but only mentioned "this new and very beautiful species". The specimen found should thus be regarded as lectotype, contradicting the statement by Breure and Borrero (2008), who considered it as holotype.

Current systematic position.
