Current status. Valid species, see SCHÜLKE & SMETANA (2015).

Comments. The type status of the specimens is unclear. Although they are labelled as paratypes by V. Puthz, only the holotype is designated in the original description and all other specimens are mentioned only as ‘Weiteres Material’ (see PUTHZ 2003: 119).
