From editor or global species database
Identification According to Thiele (1903: 941) the material was not present in the Kieschnick collection from Ternate when he was asked to revise it. He was doubtful about the identity of this species, because Kieschnick mentioned the presence of styles in addition to oxeas and sigmas. The indenty of this species remains incertae sedis. [details]
