Remarks.

Martens introduced this name for a variety of references and figures from previous authors, resulting in 13 different localities mentioned, mainly from Central America. The type locality is now restricted to Costa Rica, Prov. Puntarenas, Térraba (restrict. n.). In total ten specimens have been found in the ZMB collection which are referred to this taxon and may be traced in Martens (1893 [1890-1901]); one specimen corresponds to his figure and is here selected lectotype (design. n.). The current systematic position follows Thompson (2011).
