Remarks

The original description only refers to a single specimen from Brazil. This specimen is likely the one labeled as holotype, which is deposited at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN) in Paris with the correct data and species name associated. Specimens labelled as syntypes are in the Muséum d’Histoire naturelle in Geneva, in the Museum Basel (NMB) and the specimen in Hamburg might be one as well. As these specimens are not mentioned in the original description and the labels state more detailed location information they are likely not part of the original type series.Yet, as the specimens from Geneva, Basel and Hamburg show a similar handwriting and the same location, it cannot be excluded they were considered in the original description, hence, we list the specimens here for reference.
