Syntype
:
ZMB 24258
(B 15708, Fischer no. 377), skin, female, collected at “Massa”, 03.11.[1878]
.
Type locality
:
“
Massa” [
Masabubu
,
Tana River County
,
Kenya
], from the original description as well as locality of the
syntypes
.
Remarks
: In the original description no type was chosen, and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements and descriptions for both sexes (
Figure 1c
), and the locality “Massa” were given.
Fischer & Reichenow (1879)
listed two (nos. 377, 378) for this species. As these
two specimens
are the only ones of this species collected by Fischer found in the
Berlin
and
Hamburg
collections, and the locality is correct, both are regarded as
syntypes
.
