The arolia are of course not visible in Distant's figure and are not mentioned in his description but there is certainly no trace of a collar in Distant's genus. As mentioned above,

IreferthisspeciestoZanchiusbecause it agrees so perfectly with Distant's description and figure, differing only in the more slender body form and in the absence of a "cell-like process at apex of corium", though the costal margin widens near the apex.
