This species was described from an unspecified number of females. Despite Nixon’s label, this specimen cannot be a holotype as Kieffer did not designate a holotype.The type locality is most probably Scarborough in England, based on the data reported by Cameron (1910), rather than Scotland. The syntype is mounted on a card, the left antenna missing beyond a4, wings crumpled and right fore wing broken.
