Type locality
: “
Malindi
(
Ostafrika
)” [Malindi,
Kilifi County
,
Kenya
], from the original description as well as localities of the
syntypes
.
Remarks
: In the original description no type was chosen, and there were no inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for one individual and the locality “
Malindi
” were given.
Fischer & Reichenow (1879)
mentioned
two specimens
with nos. 191 & 192 for this species, and so both are regarded as
syntypes
. Another Fischer specimen of this species in the Hamburg collection (ZMH 8259, Fischer no. 786) cannot be included in the type series as it was collected at Nguruman in 1883.
