Remarks
: The species was described from
4 females
sent by Mr.Cookson from north-west
Rhodesia
in
January 1903
. The above two specimens are part of that
type
series. Another specimen bears a ‘co-type’ label but is a male taken
23 April
1904
in Katanga district and thus cannot be part of the
type
series.

Remarks:
All six specimens are unambiguously the
holotype
and
5 paratypes
respectively. Three of the
paratypes
bear the wrong date of publication of the description. The species is illustrated in colour in Plate E, fig 74 and the male genitalia are drawn in figure 2, p.
145 in
Gifford (1965)
. The illustrated imago is not one of the type series!
