Discussion.

The locality of the present specimens matches the type locality; they are thus considered paratypes. Further type specimens in the NHM include the holotype (NHMUK 1914.12.19.4, Nottingham Road, presented by Burnup) and three paratypes (NHMUK 1937.12.30.1051-1054, Natal, ex. Connolly collection), all housed in a single lot, and another two paratypes from Dargle (NHMUK 1914.12.19.25-27, presented by Burnup).
