(Balassire bei

).

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 571439
, adult male, collected at
Balassire
,
Harar
,
Ethiopia
, in
November 1902
, by
Zaphiro
(= Saphiro).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, Neumann said the type with the above data was in the Rothschild Collection. The above specimen is the only Zaphiro specimen of this taxon collected at Balassire to come to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The day of collection in November on the original label is difficult to read. It is definitely not 20 as listed by Neumann in the description. It has been transcribed as 23 on the Rothschild label, but I think it is either 4 or 21. The
three paratypes
mentioned by
Neumann (1906: 235)
are AMNH 571440–571442.
