Remarks

The original description states, ‘ 1 male, 1 female paratypes (32) and 1 male, 1 female paratypes (35) have been retained in the Manchester Museum.’ [32 and 35 refer to data sets.] F3233.1692 matches data set 32 in the description except the date 5–10 Aug. 1970. The female with this data appears to be missing from MMUE. F3233.1693 matches data set 34 in the description exactly but not 32 or 35. The data for F3233.1694 does not match any in the description, except the collector.
