• Scrutiny:
  • Rowell, 2009, Rehn (1914) gives the locality as Niemirembe, SW of Victoria Nyanza (Coll. Stuhlmann). This is in modern Tanzania. The name of the Kampala suburb Namirembe is clearly the Luganda equivalent of Niemirembe, but is not the same place. Hence the locality data given is incorrect, and the type locality is not in Uganda.
• Type specimen information:
  • Type locality: Africa, East Tropical Africa, Tanzania, Niemirembe, SW of Victoria Nyanza
  • Kind of type:  holotype
  • Specimen category:  female
