Remarks
This species was described from an unspecified number of females. Despite Nixon’s label, this specimen cannot be a
holotype
as Kieffer did not designate a
holotype
.The type locality is most probably Scarborough in
England
, based on the data reported by
Cameron (1910)
, rather than
Scotland
. The
syntype
is mounted on a card, the left antenna missing beyond a4, wings crumpled and right fore wing broken.
