See
Reichenow (1903b: 499)
; but see also
Mayr et al. (1986: 469)
.
Syntype
:
ZMB 24254
(B 15702, Fischer no. 319), skin, former mount, male, collected at “Muniuni”, [
18.09.1878
]
.
Syntype
:
ZMB 24255
(B 15702, Fischer no. 327), skin, former mount, female, collected at “Muniuni”, [
24.09.1878
]
.
Type locality
:
“
Muniuni” [
Munyuni
,
Tana River County
,
Kenya
], from the original description and locality of the
syntypes
.
Remarks
: In the original description, no type was chosen, nor were inventory numbers for specimens given, but measurements for more than one individual and the locality “Muniuni” were given and both sexes described. As there are no other Fischer specimens of this species from “Muniuni”, ZMB 24254 and ZMB 24255 are regarded as
syntypes
. Another Fischer specimen (no. 542) of the species in the collection in
Berlin
(ZMB 2000.17182) cannot belong to the type series as it was collected in “Usaramo” in 1882.
