Paratype
(typed on red card); “Staatl. Museum für / Tierkunde Dresden” (typed on white card).
Remarks.
Heller (1925) mistakenly placed the species under the subgenus
Artapocyrtus
. Upon examination of the
type
specimens at SMTD, we would like to propose transferring the species to the subgenus
Sclerocyrtus
based on the characters mentioned by
Schultze (1925)
. The male genitalia of the species is presented in
Figs 3 C–D
