Remarks.

The specimen selected lectotype by Breure (1979) is marked with a red dot. The specimens were accompanied by a label ”holotype”; however, the original label clearly states ”types” and it is not clear whom has attached the (subsequent?) label ”holotype”. Smith described the species from "two specimens".
