Remarks. The holotype female (from Morocco) is housed at the Musée Zoologique in Lausanne, collection de Beaumont. According to Linsenmaier (1951), the allotype male and some female paratypes (locality unknown) should be at the Museum National d’histoire naturelle in Paris; these types have not been located neither in general collection nor in the material returned by Linsenmaier and still stored in the separated boxes n°69–75 ( Rosa 2024), and they are likely misplaced elsewhere.

Linsenmaier (1957) revised his collection, removing and rewriting the labels of specimens identified in 1951. During this process, he issued new labels based on his revised interpretation of the taxon ( Linsenmaier, 1959a: 27; 1999: 33), in which only the North African specimens were retained in this taxon, excluding specimens from Armenia, Egypt and Palestine. Paratypes from these excluded localities currently lack type labels, are identified under different names and may be considered lost.
