Notes:
according to the original description, the
holotype
is from Manilla (Luzon). 2 Ψ labeled [Ins. Philipp.] [Semper] [
Paratypus
] [389 61] [Riksmuseum Stockholm] [NHRS-HEMI 000000015] (
NHRS
) and [Ins. Philipp.] [Semper] [
Paratypus
] [388 61] [Riksmuseum Stockholm] [NHRS-HEMI 000000016] (
NHRS
) have been examined but are not recognized as
paratypes
because the original description refers to one single specimen.
