Remarks.
The type locality as given in Philippi (1842-1844) is in error, as this species is only known from Venezuela. Apparently Dunker had seen three specimens, as he writes "I owe the figured specimen to the kindness of Consul Mr. Gruner from Bremen, in whose collection there are two additional, identical specimens". According to Dance (1966) the Dunker collection is in Berlin, with many types in the Cuming collection. The whereabouts of the Gruner collection are unknown to us. Köhler (2007) does not list any type material of this taxon, hence the Cuming collection seem to be the only extant source of material originating from Dunker. The type status of the London specimen is not questioned as it is accompanied by a label in Dunker's handwriting. The specimen, which was chosen lectotype by Breure (1978), is considerably smaller than the original dimensions and does not fit the figure in Philippi (1842-1844).
Current systematic position.
