Remarks

Type evidence:
From the type locality of Morocco. The main label is Fulton’s, who was known to have sold Morelet’s collection, and he has written ‘Morelet coll.’ on the back. There is no reference to a unique type in the original description. This specimen is therefore a syntype and has been listed as such in Breure et al., 2018.
