COMMENTS
: In the original description, Whitehead described both male and female, but he did not designate a type or say how many specimens he examined, nor did he later (
Whitehead, 1899: 106
) add further information on the size of his type series.
Hartert (1920: 493)
designated the specimen bearing Whitehead’s number B.457 the
lectotype
.
Paralectotypes
in AMNH are AMNH 605947, male, and AMNH 605949, female, both collected on
24 April 1896
.
