Holotype: ZMH 6905 (Fischer no. 1004), skin, male, collected at “Pangani (Küstengebiet)”, [21.08.1883].

Type locality: Pangani [Pangani, Tanga Region, Tanzania], from the original description as well as locality of the holotype .

Remarks: In the original description no type was chosen, and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for one specimen and the locality “Pangani (Küstengebiet)” were given. Fischer (1884) listed only one specimen (no. 1004) for this species, and as there are no other Fischer specimens of this species, ZMH 6905 (also listed as type in Bolau 1898) is the holotype.
