Remarks

This species was described from an unspecified number of males, of which one was found. The syntype is mounted on a card, generally dirty, the right a9-13 are disarticulated, and the tip of the left hind tarsus is missing. This species was placed in Malvina by Masner (1965); however, Malvina is here considered a derived species group of Spilomicrus and the original combination is reinstated.
