Remarks.

Martens introduced this name for a variety of references and figures from previous authors, resulting in 13 different localities mentioned, mainly from Central America. The type locality is now restricted to Costa Rica, Prov. Puntarenas, Térraba ( restrict. n.). In total ten specimens have been found in the ZMB collection which are referred to this taxon and may be traced in Martens (1893 [1890-1901]); one specimen corresponds to his figure and is here selected lectotype ( design. n.). The current systematic position follows Thompson (2011).
