COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. There are three paratypes collected at Alexandria in May 1905 by Stalker: AMNH 577649 (Mathews no. 2128), female; and AMNH 577650 and 577651, unsexed on the label but entered by Mathews (nos. 2126 and 2129) as males. Ingram (1907: 406–407) discussed these four specimens. Stalker’s given name was Wilfred ( Ogilvie-Grant, 1915: vi), contra Ingram (1907) and Whittell (1954: 680–681).
