Type status.
Attems (1929)
did not state the number of specimens in his original description. This species is not listed in the catalogues by
Weidner (1960)
and
Rack (1974)
but 3 microscope slides, representing type material, are held at the
ZMH
(note on file card: “3 Präp.,

.E. Crabill rev. und präp. 1962. Das Tier entnahm er dem Alkohol-Material, das Attems ursprünglich als
Mecistocephalus spissus
Wood
(siehe dort) determiniert u. 1907 publiziert hat, später (1929) als eigene Art erkannte. [The specimen was taken by Crabill from the alcohol material that was originally determined and published 1907 by Attems as
Mecistocephalus spissus
(Wood)
but recognized as a new species in 1929.]”). The specimens are interpreted here as
syntypes
.
Collection remarks.
The specimens were collected by Karl Kraepelin during his voyage to
India
and Java 1903–04. The specimens from Ciampea were taken in forest habitat (“
Wald
”)
