Remarks. Gressitt (1950)described this species based on a single specimen collected in ‘Kwa-in-han’ on ‘ 3 May, 1942’ and stated that the holotypeis in LMNH, however, the abovementioned specimen does not agree with the data. We located and studied photographs of the true holotypespecimen, agreeing with the original description and locality data, in CAS. As Gressitt mentioned only a single specimen, the one in LMNH is excluded from the typeseries.
