Type depository.

Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, Germany.

Type locality and habitat.

Sweden, Solna Municipality, agricultural land, microhabitat stated.

Comparative material.

Sweden: 2 ♀♀ (ZMB: 41443, holotype; ZMB: 41444 paratype) - Schweden, 2966-2967.

Remarks.

This species bears almost full complement of dorsal shield setae. I found 28 pairs in the type specimens from Sweden (s6 presumably absent). Karg (1971a) depicted only 22 pairs in his original illustration. I was unable to check the number of opisthogastric setae due to the position of the specimens on the slide.
