Remarks.

As type material, Kraepelin (1911) listed a juvenile from Bahia Blanca. This specimen is designated here as the lectotype. He also mentions the presence of a male without precise locality in the ZMH collections, which at that time were still housed at the “Realgymnasium” in Hamburg and only later moved to a new museum building. This specimen is a paralectotype.
