Holotype
by original designation.
Remarks. Four
paratypes
in the
MNHN
were seen. The remaining nine
type
specimens listed by Risbec were not seen, although the
holotype
is in the
MRAC
(E. de Coninck pers. comm.) and one female
paratype
and one male
paratype
are at the
MRAC
(
Masner 1960
;
Huggert 1976
). The remaining
paratypes
are possibly there too. Risbec may have incorrectly sexed some of the specimens since there appear to be at least two male
paratypes
when Risbec mentioned only one. This species was transferred to
Leptacis
by
Masner (1960)
.
