REMARKS
The original description clearly implies there is a syntype series since no holotype is indicated and both sexes and two localities are given. Hence Kelner-Pillault (1958) is wrong to suggest that there was a holotype. Although Townes & Townes (1981) considered Kelner-Pillault (1958) to have designated a lectotype, this cannot be supported either under Article 74.5 ( ICZN 1999) since there is no explicit indication by Kelner-Pillault that she was selecting from a type series, or under Article 74.6 ( ICZN 1999) since it is clear a syntype series exists. Since four syntypes were found, to avoid future confusion and to conserve the usage established by Townes & Townes (1981) the specimen erroneously considered to be a holotype by Kelner-Pillault (1958) and erroneously considered to be a lectotype by Townes & Townes (1981) is here designated as a lectotype. The lectotype is carded on its venter, is dirty, and has the ends of the mid and hind tarsi missing. The synonymy established by Townes & Townes (1981) is followed here.
