Publication date of this name has usually been cited as 1798 in error. Type-material 



of sinuata has never been located and is presumed lost (Townsend's, 1932 : 40, statement 



of $ holotype in London is in error). The identity is certain from Donovan's coloured 



figure, painted it appears from a £ specimen.
