Quick answer
Type series: Cabanis (1873 c: 315 – 6316) based this species on one or more females deposited in the ZMB. Entries in the Accession Catalogue of the ZMB indicate that he had only one relevant specimen at disposal, which is thus the holotype of this species.

The date given on the ZMB label refers to the year when the ZMB received and catalogued the specimen, not to a collection date. Type locality: " Maraynioc " (Cabanis 1873 c: 315), i. e. Maraynioc, Peru [11.37 ° S, 75.40 ° W].
