Type material.

NHMUK 1854.12.4.131, one paralectotype ( d’Orbigny coll.).

Remarks.

d’Orbigny (1835) did not state on how many specimens his description was based. In d’Orbigny 1838 [1834-1847]: 314 he specified the locality as "entre les provinces de Cochabamba et de Moxos, au fond d’un ravin dans lequel coule le Rio Altamachi, le premier affluent oriental du Rio Beni, un peu en avant de Tutulima"; see Breure 1973: 130. Breure (1975b) found five specimens in the MNHN collection, labelled ”Tutulima” and "... Yungas", of which he selected one as lectotype. The specimen in lot 1854.12.4.131 corresponds to d’Orbigny 1837 [1834-1847]: pl. 40 figs 6-7.
