COMMENTS:
Chapin
cited the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
in the original description
;
his type series comprised the
six specimens
in
AMNH
collected by
Callewaert
at
Luluabourg
,
two specimens
from
Luluabourg
in
ANSP
, and specimens collected by
H. Schoutenden
at
Macaco
near
Luebo
(which Chapin had not seen).
The
five paratypes
in
AMNH
are:
AMNH 258608– 258611
,
258613
,
three males
, one unsexed but marked [male], and
one female
. Other specimens collected by
Callewaert
at Luluabourg and sold to Rothschild, later came to
AMNH
at about the time the description was published, but they were not available to Chapin for the description
.
