67.6.14.1 among the putative syntypes, although they noted that only three specimens could be 
types as Peters was explicit about the number of specimens he had. The original ZMB catalogue 
notes in Peters’ hand both that ZMB 4212 corresponds to the types and that there were three spec¬ 
imens under this number ZMB 4212A and B reported by Bauer et al. (1995, 2003) have since been 
renumbered. Thus only ZMB specimens have status as types.
