Comments. Paratypes were deliberately not designated in the original description (S. Van Dyck, M. Crowther, pers. comm. 2013), but the eight specimens listed here were part of the series of specimens used in documenting the morphological variation within the species and are therefore of equivalent value as paratypes for future taxonomic research.
