Literature analysis: The original description of this species by Wright & Studer (1889) is totally inadequate but that by Versluys is good enough to be able to recognise this species (Untiedt, pers. comm.) so it is possible that Thomson & Henderson (1906) could have correctly identified their material. Rao & Devi (2003) just listed the species.
