Remarks
Type evidence:
This lot has a main label which indicates the material is from Morelet's collection. Tomlin has written 'co-type' on this. The writing on the bottom of the box is that of Preston. The material is from the type locality and there is no indication of a unique type selection in the original description. This is therefore a syntype and has been listed as such by Breure et al, 2018.
