Holotype male with labels: (1) handwritten on white paper: “ Brazil | São Paulo | S. Cantareira | 900m; Dec. 40 [December, 1940] | Travassos”; (2) printed with handwritten inscriptions on red paper: “ HOLOTYPE ♂ | Tipula | affabilis | C. P. Alexander”.

Preservation: mounted at the tip of two pinned paper triangles; terminalia mounted on a plastic slide pinned with the specimen.
