Taxonomic remarks.
This species was described from both sexes from
Nigeria
and has not since been recorded. Since the surstylus of the Maraba specimen differs somewhat in shape and chaetotaxy from that of the
holotype
(
Deeming, 1979: 32
,
Fig. 4
) it is figured here (
Fig. 44
) in profile.
Dike (1990: 301
,
Fig. 12
)) figured the surstylus of the
holotype
from beneath, which figure aids understanding of its structure.
