Remarks.

As the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity, it is unavailable (Code, Art. 1.3.4, Art 10.2, Art. 45.5). As such, it has no taxonomic status, no type locality and no type material. Nevill (1885: 2) described it from “Benares” [= Varanasi, Utter Pradesh, India] based on a specimen collected by Colonel G. B. Mainwaring (NZSI M.2392, registered 8 January 1894), with dimensions SH 68.6 mm, SW 65.5 mm, AH 47.4 mm, AW 40.7 mm. The name has not been made available subsequently ( Cowie 2015: 40). The specimen NZSI M.2392 has no type status.
