Remarks
Type evidence:
The main label is Fulton’s, who was known to have sold Morelet’s collection, and he has written 'Morelet coll.' on the label. There is no reference to a unique type in the original description. Breure et al., 2018 were unable to find any Morelet material from the type locality of Senegal and have queried the validity of this type locality. This specimen is therefore a possible syntype and has been listed as such in Breure et al., 2018.
