Systematic notes. The holotype male, noted above, is in extremely poor
condition: the anterior tarsomeres and left antenna are missing, and the abdominal sternites have
been eaten by dermestids, with the result that the genitalia and subgenital plate have been destroyed.
I have examined five males and three females.
