]. Material not seen
.
Remarks
. Stebbing reported a female and a male. For the latter he provided a habitus illustration, but he did not designate a
holotype
. Dr. Lauren Hughes of the BMNH has advised me of the following status regarding Stebbing’s type material. The undissected female is in the BMNH wet collection. This suggests that most detailed illustrations were dissected from the male
syntype
. The remains of the
syntype
male, and especially slides, cannot at present be considered lost because major work on the large Stebbing collection continues. For that reason the
two specimens
are left as
syntypes
.
