as belonging to this species. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that the quality of details and precision of the drawings in
<normalizedToken originalValue="Signorets">Signoret's</normalizedToken>

The lack of precision in the mentioned drawing is suggested by the pattern of the lateral pale markings of the hind lobe, which were drawn as a pair of parallel lines meeting at their apices, while in reality they are continuous markings at each side of hind lobe. Therefore, this evidence and the fact that the original labels of both type specimens are very similar and with the same handwriting (Figs
