Taxonomic
remarks.
The
female from the
ZMH
collection is not part of the
type
series, as also noted by
Weidner (1959: 109)
who considered the specimen as a “
Locotype
” because the only female from this locality should be in the
Brussel Museum
(now
Royal Begian Institute of Natural Sciences
)
.
Also
, the oldest label written by
Kraepelin
mentions that the specimen was determined by
Simon
in 1899, twenty years after the species was first described.
According
to
Muma (1970)
, the male
type
is at
MNHN
No
. 1805, but the female and the juvenile are not conspecific with the type.
Current systematic position.
