Current status.

Remarks.

Neotype designated by Geiger and Jansen (2004: 6) because three syntypes hosted in the Zoological Museum Berlin were destroyed through Bynesian decay. Neotype was separated from NMSA C7967 (figured by Herbert 1986: 611-613, figs 3, 12, 14). Re-described by Geiger in 2012.
