Remarks

This species was described from three females, of which two were found. The two syntypes differ from the description in having an eleven-segmented antenna and belong to Doliopria ; however, this discrepancy is accounted for by the fact that the antennae are covered with glue which obscures the number of segments and there is no reason not to consider them syntypes. A lectotype is designated in order to stabilise the new combination. The lectotype is mounted on a card point and is entire.
