Remarks. Linsenmaier (1959a) did not provide a specific type locality or detailed collecting data in the original description, only noting a generic locality ‘’Cyprus’’. He described the female holotype and the male allotype. However, in the collection, the holotype specimen (Type) is a male and the allotype is a female. We here follow Linsenmaier’s interpretation as preserved in his collection and consider that the sexes were erroneously reversed in the original description, a lapsus calami already observed in other cases ( Rosa et al. 2015b).
