Notes

Wood & Gallichan, 2008: Type material: Possible Syntypes:- ‘Cotype’ NMW.1955.158.00835 1 spec. (e); ‘Cotype’ NMW.1955.158.00836 1 spec. (e) Type locality: Liban, dans la région du Nahr-el- Kelb [Tanous & A. Letourneux] Type evidence: Both NMW lots have Geret cotype labels and bear a more accurate type locality than in the paper, ‘Mt. Liban, 1000 met. Altitude’. Geret’s sales list confirms they came from Ancey’s collection but it seems that originally they were together in one lot meant for Connolly. It is possible that Geret split the lot to share between Connolly and Tomlin but finally sold them both to Tomlin. Both of the specimens are close to the measurements given in the paper.
