Treatment

similis Carl, 1917: 387-388 View in CoL , figs 1-2, 5-6 [ Poratophilus ]. Rikalla, Afrique méridionale orientale. One ♂ and 3 ♀.

The MHNG collection contains four specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14282). Two of the specimens are broken, and they are accompanied by a vial containing gonopods. One of the identification labels has “Rikalla, Afrique mér. orient.” written on it. The identification labels indicate that the ♂ is the “ type ”, but the original description did not designate a holotype and all of the specimens are syntypes.
