The left hind leg is missing. Although it is clear from the original description that Bolivar collected many examples, it is known that he also collected this species at the type locality after the publication of the description (see Holstein & Ingrisch, 2004: 4) and so the specimens cannot be definitely identified as syntypes. There are 11 further syntypes in the MNMS ( Paris, 1994). Box A14.
