Described from “several specimens”, there remain 15 slides of this species in the Natural History Museum, London, including the
Lectotypes
of both
magnicollis
and
denticollis
. The original description was based on the dorsal view of dry, carded specimens. No mention was made of the cephalic ventral horn, but Bagnall subsequently (1932) examined a slide-mounted head and referred to the long horn that is directed ventrally and arises on the anterior area of the frons between the eyes (
Fig. 6
). The published body lengths in the original description were from dry carded specimens; they are underestimates when compared to slide-mounted specimens.
