Remarks: In the original description no type was chosen, nor were inventory numbers for specimens provided, but measurements for just one specimen and the locality “ Kinakomba (Ostafrica) ” were given. Fischer & Reichenow (1879: 341) listed only one individual (no. 362) for this species; its measurements are identical to that in Reichenow (1879 b), so it is regarded as the holotype. Another (now missing) specimen (no. 730) was collected later on the Ronga River (Kenya, 1883) (Fischer 1884), too late to be included in the type series.
