COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated a type saying only that it was an adult male from Lanusei; later, he ( Hartert, 1920a: 442) gave 2 February 1902 as the collecting date of the type, thereby designating the only specimen collected on that date as the lectotype. He noted that he examined 14 specimens, 10 of which came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. Paralectotypes in AMNH are: AMNH 681086–681090 , 681092–681094 , all collected in the Ogliastra district in 1902–1904, and AMNH 681096 , collected at Cincia, Sassari , Sardinia, on 4 March 1904 .
