Remarks. No specimen of this species was examined, only a photograph of the type ( USNM, Fig. 5 ). Baker (1923) described the species based on an unspecified number of specimens collected from “ Luzon, Benguet Province, Pauai (Hauggt’s Place), altitude 2,400 meters”. He studied both sexes and noted “marked sexual dimorphism”.
