Remarks.

This species was described based on a single male holotype from northwestern Brazil, labelled "Brasilien, Acre, Rio Branco, 29.x.1954" and preserved at NHMB. Several specimens were collected with interception traps disposed for faunistic inventory purpose at Saül, French Guiana, by the SEAG ( Société entomologique Antilles-Guyane).
