Antennae are broken. In the original description, there is no mention of the number of
type
specimens or their depository. However, two specimen numbers, '417' and '418', on labels are mentioned.. In NFIC, specimen bearing the number '418' is present with details as mentioned above. Specimen no. '417' is perhaps designated as
type
and deposited somewhere else.
