of other specimens from Ohaus’ original type
series are unknown. There are two specimens
in ZMHB labeled “Mapiri Bolivia” and “BO-
LIVIA S.Cruz d.l.S.” with Ohaus’ orange
cotype labels. These localities were not mentioned
in the original description so these
specimens are not part of the original type
series. Type locality: “Tanampaya,” Bolivia
(this locality is unknown to me).
