Holotype
:
ZMB 2000.5082
(B 20151, Fischer no. 140), skin, female, collected at “Kagehi”, 19.11.[1885].
Type locality
:
“
Kagehi” [
Kayenzi
,
Mwanza Region
,
Tanzania
], from the original description and locality of the
holotype
.
Remarks
: In the original description no type was directly chosen, but measurements for
one specimen
, and a specimen with no. 140, the date, and the locality “Kagehi” were given; thus ZMB 2000.5082 is regarded as the
holotype
for this species. The localities “Wembaere Steppe” [Wembere Plains] and “Simiu Fluss” [
Simiyu
River] were additionally listed in
Reichenow (1887)
as a citation from Fischer’s diaries, but without details of any collected specimens.
