Specimens from Armenia: B100157988, K000484184 and LE00012853 are possible isotypes.

Although LE00012852 and LE00012854 were annotated by Dorofeyev on 10/11/2010 as the type, their collection date and number are different from that in G-BOIS and, therefore, they cannot be recognized as part of the type collection.
