Notes.
In his more detailed description in Hagen & Selys (
1854
), H.A. Hagen described male and female characteristics, also age related differences (for example, »
♂
jeune«), and mentioned: »Patrie. La province d’Ypanema au
Brésil
, d’où le Musée de Vienne l’a reçue par M. Natterer. − Le
Brésil
, d’après les exemplaires du Musée de Berlin pris par M. Sellow«. The male and the female specimens preserved in the Berlin collection should be considered
syntypes
. According to
St. Quentin (
1970
)
two male
syntypes
from
Brasil
(Ypanema) are deposited in coll.
