Lea (1926) did not define the type series, seeing an unknown number of males (probably one) (vide Articles 73.1.2, 72.1.1). He unequivocally designated a “Type” with the SAM registration number I.15473 (vide Article 73.1.1). It is presumably the female specimen considered as the holotype by Britton (1978), although not labelled by him, and is the one noted as the holotype by Houston & Weir (1992).
