Remarks

This species was described from an unspecified number of males. This syntype agrees well with the description, although the basal scutellar pit is not clearly bifoveate; however, this part of the specimen

is dirty, so probably Kieffer was mistaken. The syntype is mounted on a card and has three of the tarsi broken.
