Remarks. Described from 9 male specimens, of which the male lectotype and 4 male paralectotypes are present in the collection of RMCA; 4 male paralectotypes were supposed to be in BMNH, however, they were not found there (K. Tuck, pers. comm.). The lectotype was selected by Aarvik in 1998 but was not published until the present paper.
