Remarks

On the labels of the paratypes in the MCNB the collection date is given as 13 May 1979, probably due to an error when copying the year. The type series consists of the ♂ holotype and the ♀ allotype, as well as 220 paratypes (106 ♂♂ and 114 ♀♀) ( Salgado, 1991). The holotype and allotype are deposited in the author’s collection (CZULE); the remaining paratypes are deposited in the author’s collection (CZULE) and in the FLC and MNHNP ( Salgado, 1991; Fresneda & Salgado, 2016). Of the material deposited in the MCNB, Salgado (1991) cites 3 ♂♂ and 3 ♀♀.
