Assing 2007" (MNHNP). Paratype3: same data as holotype(MNHNP).   C o m m e n t: The original description is based on a holotypemale and a female paratypefrom " Sierra Nevada, Espagne" ( COIFFAIT 1970); the paratype, however, is in fact a male. The two femalesin the Franz collection ( NHMW) have labels with the same data as the holotype and were labelled by Coiffait as paratypes. However, since they are not mentioned in the original description, they do not have type status; the paratypelabels were removed.
