REMARKS

Risbec (1956a) made this name available by including it in a key but it is not clear whether the description was based on a single or several specimens. Risbec (1958) provides a subsequent description of Brasema fantsiliae (see above under Remarks for Brasema alasorae ). Because he pointed to a single female and quoted the data on slide MNHN.4.58, according to ICZN Article 74.6, this should be regarded as a lectotype designation.
