Unknown locality in Colombia.

Remarks

The unique individual examined by us has a label “ex descr”, which means “ex description”, and it was probably identified by Crotch based on the original description by Guérin-Méneville. Labels with the word “ Type.” crossed out by Crotch indicate the specimen is probably not the type ( Skelley 1998b).
