Notes.

This species was keyed out by Deans et al. (2003) in an incorrect way, as it has one spine on the tarsal claws but it was keyed out through the second half of their couplet 11, which stated "tarsal claws with 2-4 spines" (Deans et al. 2003: 7). Here we have keyed out the species based on the correct assessment of this character. A few specimens may have some veins in the fore wing more pale in color, but otherwise they fit very well with the rest of the characters (including biology, molecular and other morphological features).
