had only one specimen for study; in the descriptions of some other new species in the same paper 
<normalizedToken originalValue="Bolívar">Bolivar</normalizedToken>
never noted the number of treated specimens. The strongest doubts in considering the Maastricht specimens as type specimens of

The last remaining issue is the incomplete labelling of the type specimens. Wasmann had got the specimens from R.P. Schupp, possibly already without a label and only with a verbal information about the collecting data, which he might have passed on to 
<normalizedToken originalValue="Bolívar">Bolivar</normalizedToken>
. After getting back the specimens he might have forgotten to label them accordingly. In spite of the dubious circumstances, the authors are convinced that the Maastricht specimens represent the type specimens of
