Remarks
Wood & Gallichan, 2008: Ancey (1902c: 66) did not indicate a unique type in his original publication. The NMW specimen has an Ancey type label from the exact type locality and was collected by F. Sikora. There is also a Geret type label present. The specimen measures very closely to the dimensions given in the publication. The Geret sales list confirms a type from Ancey’s collection was sold to Tomlin.
