Type data:
Holotype ZMH ZMH-A0001635; GODEFFROY Nr. 8630 ♀ (Koch described and illustrated a female specimen and Rack (1961) also gave this specimen as a female in her catalogue of ZMH spiders. Baehr et al (2019) re-examined this specimen that is in fact a male and does not match the original description by Koch. It is possible that the type specimen was misplaced or is lost and no other specimens are currently known), Sydney.
