COMMENTS: Chapin cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description ; his type series comprised the six specimens in AMNH collected by Callewaert at Luluabourg, two specimens from Luluabourg in ANSP, and specimens collected by H. Schoutenden at Macaco near Luebo (which Chapin had not seen). The five paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 258608– 258611 View Materials , 258613 View Materials , three males, one unsexed but marked [male], and one female. Other specimens collected by Callewaert at Luluabourg and sold to Rothschild, later came to AMNH at about the time the description was published, but they were not available to Chapin for the description .
