Remarks.
Originally described from an unspecified number of specimens from “South
India
; Nandidrug (T.V. Campbell).”. Based on the registration dates, only the first mentioned of the above material predates Distant’s description of the species. It is possible however that other
syntypes
may be present (see “Introduction - Distant’s Indian
types
from T.V. Campbell”).
