REMARKS

One male and one female mentioned in the original description were not located. The designated lectotype is the larger, complete female on slide MNHN.4.53, with the wings folded on the dorsum and the gaster and right eye collapsed. It is marked on the coverslip with an arrow. The paralectotype under the same coverslip is a smaller specimen and lacks its head.
