- Curatorial Notes:
- This holotype specimen is pictured in plate 67. The author gave the specimen number as P.P.T. 3, but Gentry and Gentry (1978a) gave the correct number as P.P.T. 1. BK II was added to this specimen number to avoid confusion as there is another specimen with number P.P.T. 1. Original information indicated that this specimen was located in Nairobi. This specimen is likely within the material that was repatriated to Dar in 2011, but this has yet to be confirmed.
