Remarks
Wood & Gallichan, 2008:
Type material: Possible Syntype:- NMW.1955.158.24210 1 spec. (e)
Type locality: Seed bags from the North of Mozambique [C. F. Ancey]
Remarks: Ancey (1890e: 346) commented [translation] ‘The majority of the examples collected are young.’
Type evidence: Ancey (1890e: 346) did not indicate a unique type in his publication. The NMW specimen has an Ancey label bearing the type locality, but has no type indication. The specimen is slightly smaller than measurements given in the paper.
