Sjöstedt at “ Kilimandjaro ” . Type locality: “Ostafrika: Landstriche östliche des Victoriasees bis zum Olgos und Kilimandscharo ” (East-Africa: region east of Lake Victoria to Olgos Hill and Kilimandscharo ), from the original description, ascertained as Umbugwe [Umbugwe country (Mbulu Highlands), Manyara Region , Tanzania ], the locality of the holotype . Remarks : In the original description a male collected by Oscar Neumann in Umbugwe with the inventory number ZMB 34531 was chosen as “the type” and eleven specimens from the Berlin and Munich collections were mentioned as type material ( 10 paratypes ). Therefore ZMB 34531 is determined as the holotype and all other specimens of the given combination of locality and collector that were in the collections in Berlin and Munich in 1928 are paratypes . The missing Neumann specimen was not inventoried at the ZMB. The Fischer paratype was mentioned in Reichenow (1887) as Penthetria phoenicea (Heuglin) .
