 mm FL female; New Zealand, South Island,

 the Canterbury Museum are mentioned in the 

 original description and so may be considered 

 paratypes: a cast of a specimen from Kaiapoi, 

 north of Christchurch, dated 4 October 1911 and 

 measuring 920 mm TL and a specimen, 840 mm 

 FL, from Akaroa, Banks Peninsula, dated 4
