This species was originally described based on
2 males
(
holotype
from
Venezuela
, AMNH;
paratype
from
Guyana
, MZSP) and
1 female
(from
Guyana
, AMNH). The
paratype
belonging to the MZSP collection was reported as being a female but is a male. However, when describing the dimensions of the specimens,
Martins and Monné (1993)
correctly provided the measurements of two males and one female.
Morvan and Morati (2006)
were the first to report this species in
French Guiana
. Although the
paratype
female from
Guyana
was not examined, the
holotype
and
paratype
(
Fig. 10-13
) males are distinctly lighter than specimens from
French Guiana
(specimens also examined through photographs,
Fig. 14–17
). In addition to the difference in color, the anterolateral pronotal tubercles are somewhat smaller and more distinctly conical in the
holotype
and
paratype
male than in the specimens from
French Guiana
. However, as no other morphological features were found, it is probable that the differences in the
French Guiana
specimens are simply local variants.
