La Camelia, Kaffeepflanzung bei 1800 m. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

The MHNG collection contains three specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14359). Two of the specimens have a pin running the length of the body, and they are accompanied by a pair of gonopods in a small vial. The identification labels have “ Colombie (Camelia Kaffeepflanzung) 2♂ 1♀ ” and “ Colombie, Coll. Fuhrmann ” written on them respectively, and there is a printed “Cotype” label, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The jar also contains an undated typed label stating that Hoffman considered the specimens to belong to an undescribed genus. There are two syntypes (one ♂ and one ♀ referred to “Co-Typus” in the NMB catalogue) in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00222a).
