Remarks
This species was described from at least five
syntypes
, since Wollaston mentions five different localities: S. Antonio da Serra; Ribeira da Janella; Feijãa de Córte; another locality at intermediate altitude; and another locality at high altitude. Not all the
syntypes
could be assigned to these localities with certainty; although two of them have the locality code 1462, a key to localities codes for Wollaston’s
Hymenoptera
has not been found. The four
syntypes
are mounted on cards: one is entire; one has the right hind telotarsus disarticulated; one has the right a12 missing; and the last one has the wings much torn.
