Remarks.
This specimen represents both the first record from
Ivory Coast
, and the first male. It is confirmed that this species has a pecten and associated male characters (included in revised key; revised couplet 107). Unlike the
holotype
this specimen is in good condition and it can be confirmed that the costal band apical spot is deep, reaching well below vein R4+5, but not as far as vein M.
