Type material

Remarks

Zariquiey (1950) refers to “bastantes ejemplares” [quite a few specimens] from the type locality without specifying the number of specimens in the type series nor establishing the holotype (all originally deposited in the author’s collection). Escolà (1969) mentions a total of 37 specimens with the same collection dates as given by Zariquiey (1950). In the MCNB collection we have found a series of 10 males and 17 females without labels that would identify them as belonging to the type series. The collection dates on their labels, the hand-writing (mostly in the hands of F. Español and R. Zariquiey), and their original deposit in Zariquiey’s collection, nevertheless, indicates that they belong to the type series.
