(The specimen in the IRSN labelled as “ type ”

is from Concepción. Solier cited no locality and described the species from an unstated number of specimens that are presumably in the collection of C. Gay, or perhaps that of

Solier, both of which Horn and Kahle

[1935–37: 87, 262] reported to be in the

Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle,

Paris. I doubt the specimen in Brussels is part of the type series of S. angustatus .)
