Remarks. Linsenmaier (1959) did not report the accurate type locality and collecting date, which are Hammamet, July 1916, for the holotype, for three paratype specimens deposited at ETHZ and four paratypes deposited at NMLU; Kairouan is the other type locality for two female paratypes at ETHZ.

Linsenmaier (1959) designated a male specimen in his collection as the allotype. This specimen was collected by Santschi at Kairouan in June 1909, but it has no type status because it was not mentioned in the original type series and labelled as allotype in 1963, after the original description.
