Syntypes.

1 ♂ ( Fig. 20 A–B ), 1 ♀ ( Fig. 20 C–D , ZMH-A0003049), Venezuela, coll. V.1912, BMNH don.

Remarks.

Kraepelin (1912b) listed 13 specimens in the type series and the type locality as "Venezuela (Merida, Chama)". He mentioned that the type material was housed in the British Museum. The two specimens in Hamburg are certainly part of this series. Sissom (2000) also mentioned five males and 13 females in the BMNH, and the two specimens in the ZMH collections.
