Type notes:
1) The authors also give a paratype depository as
NMNH, an abbreviation not in their list; perhaps a misprint for
MNHN ?. 2)
MZSP received a paratype pin labeled "COLOMBIA, Nariño, Barbacoas, RN Rio Ñambi, 01°17’N 78°15’W, 1300, Interior Bosque, bh-T", but without specimen or triangle. According the original publication, 1 W paratype from the same series of the holotype should be deposited at the
MZSP.
