Remarks: Morelet did not mention on how many specimens his description was based. He said this species “habite, dans des conditions différentes, les deux versant[s] de la chaîne de Paucara: le type, du côté d’Huancabelica”; this points to the region east of Huancavelica. One of the specimens from Parcos [60584] seems to fit the left-hand figure in Morelet (1863), one of the specimens from Huancavelica [60581] corresponds to his middle figure. This taxon is currently placed in the genus Kuschelenia Hylton Scott, 1951 .
