Remarks:
Morelet did not mention on how many specimens his description was based. He said this species “habite, dans des conditions différentes, les deux versant[s] de la chaîne de Paucara: le
type
, du côté d’Huancabelica”; this points to the region east of
Huancavelica
. One of the specimens from Parcos [60584] seems to fit the left-hand figure in
Morelet (1863)
, one of the specimens from
Huancavelica
[60581] corresponds to his middle figure. This taxon is currently placed in the genus
Kuschelenia
