Type locality

England
.
Remarks
This species was described from an unspecified number of females. The
syntypes
agree well with the description; although Kieffer says the head has five anterior teeth, this probably means four plus the median ocellus which protrudes anteriorly; also, the “arête en avant jusque entre les antennes” is weak but observable from the side. Although the published type locality is
Scotland
, it appears from the locality (Caterham) given by
Cameron (1910)
that Kieffer saw English specimens, so English specimens have not been excluded from the type series. In any case, Kieffer is known to have misinterpreted many of the localities on Cameron’s specimens. Both
syntypes
are mounted on cards; the
syntype
numbered 403 has the metasoma missing;
syntype
404 is entire.
