Remarks

Possible Syntypes:-
RBINS.10591 1 spec.

Remarks:
Ancey (1883d: 269) later misspells the species as
Z. davidis.

Type evidence:
The RBINS specimen has both Geret and Ancey labels bearing the type locality, but they do not state it is a type. There is also an A. David label. The NMW lot only has a Geret label, but the Geret sales list indicates that two specimens were sold to Tomlin from Ancey’s collection, so we can assume this lot is Ancey’s.
