Notes
The locality and collector information has been inferred from the paper as there is no information present with the specimen. Melvill & Standen, 1896 refer to having seen "two or three specimens" in the original description. This specimen must therefore be considered a syntype. The assumption that it is the figured specimen is based on the label data and it has been listed as such in both Trew, 1987 and McGhie, 2008. Other type material listed in McGhie, 2008: 3 syntypes EE.7925 3 possible syntypes EE.8111
