(several specimens, males and females, in original description); [“Holoype male”, in
Peck, 1973a
, seen] in BMNH. Type locality: “Iruqui”,
Mexico
. [Note: This locality does not exist and it is a probable misinterpretation of “Truqui” (the collector Eugenio (Eugen) Truqui, Sardinian consul in Cypress, who died in
1860 in
Rio de Janeiro, and co-author with Flaminio Baudi di Selva of “Studi Entomologici (Torino)”, in
Papavero, 1973: 343

Burke & Fryxell (1995)
or
Selander & Vaurie (1962)
