LECTOTYPE.— BMNH 1946.8.22. 84, from “Baluchistan”, SW Iran (lectotype designated by Szczerbak and Golubev 1986) . Paralectotypes.— Das et al. (1998) referred to several “ syntypes ”, which have to be recognized as paralectotypes: ZSI 3428 , 3429 , 3431 , all from “ Baluchistan [= Balochistan Province, north-western Pakistan]” ; ZSI 3432 from “Bahukelat, Baluchistan” ; ZSI 3434 from “Nigau, Nurmashu, S.E. Persia ” ; ZSI 3436 from “Bampur, Baluchistan ” ; ZSI 3437 from “Persian Gulf” ; ZSI 3458 , 5271 from “Bahu Kalat, Baluchistan ” ; ZSI 3459 from “Isfandak, Baluchistan ” ; ZSI 5273–77 from “Pishin, Baluchistan ” ; ZSI 5278 from “Mand, Baluchistan ” ; ZSI 5279–80 from “Pishin, Baluchistan ”. The original description gave the type locality as “Gedrosia Persiaque [in Baluchistan, north-western Pakistan]”. According to Constable (1949) another paralectotype is in the MCZ, however, no type of this species was traceable in this collection.
