 ly given to Pater Basilio after whom this subspecies was 

 named. There are 15 more specimens in spirit in the 

 ZFMK collection. These were collected during Eisen- 

 trauf s 1962/63 expedition but were not considered in the 

 context of the description. Further paratypes were deposit- 

 ed in SMNS and AMNH.
