Schedl (1954) described this species from Java without designating a holotype. Later (1979) he designated a lectotype and four paralectotypes all from a similar origin, labelled “Batoerraden, G[gunung]. Slamet, Java ”. WS compared Thai specimens from the far south with the lectotype (NHMW) and concluded that the Thai specimens are similar in length with Schedl’s description (1.9 mm) (Schedl 1954) and lectotype but differ in other body proportions. The lectotype has more similar body proportions to the Thai specimens, but slightly differs from Schedl’s original description. These differences among the original description, lectotype, and three Thai specimens are summarized in Table 1. It is possible that Schedl’s original description may have been an average of more than one specimen since no type was indicated at that time, and this may explain the slight differences in length and proportions of the lectotype compared to the description.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B387EC1E2FFFBFFF54FAE8FCD1D681	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
