Remarks

Escolà et al. (1985) do not indicate where the specimens of the type series (46 ♂♂ and 62 ♀♀) are deposited. Only some of the specimens have their original red paratype labels, although all unquestionably belong to the type series referred to by the authors of the description. There are 17 paratypes in the JCC (J. Comas pers. comm.) .
