Broun number
: 2782 (as given in
May 1967

).
Remarks:
Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined, although he mentions a “good series” with some specimens that are a “little larger and darker” in color than “the type.” Four specimens were located in the BMNH Broun collection. Under Article 73.1.1 of the ICZN, we regard “the type” mentioned by Broun as the
holotype
and the remaining specimens in the series as
paratypes
.
