Remarks
- Systematics: No specimens were available for study and none appear to have been collected since Giard collected the original material. Matile-Ferrero (pers. comm.) has visited the original site but was unable to find this interesting species. What follows is a literal translation of the original description (Hodgson, 1994a).
- General Remarks: Good description of the adult female and first-instar nymph given by Borchsenius (1957).
