COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren said that his type was a male collected on 17 June 1918 at M’buyuni and that he had five male and three female specimens. Four specimens of taruensis came to AMNH in addition to the type. The following two specimens are paratypes : AMNH 713667 , female, M’buyuni, 3 July 1918 , and AMNH 713669 , male, Manugu, 8 August 1918 . AMNH 713668, male, 2 July 1918 from Masongaleni is a probable paratype but this locality was not mentioned, and AMNH 713670, unsexed, Manugu, 3 August 1918 , is also a probable paratype , but unsexed specimens were not mentioned in the description. Of recent authors, only Clement (2010: 529) recognized taruensis .
