Note: A specimen in P, Service Forestier 56, bears only the locality Betroka, it seems unlikely that this specimen was collected near the town of Betroka in Toliara Province, although it may have come from Kalambatritra - however, this is uncertain and this data has not been scored here. The Holotype was incorrewctly cited by Källersjö as at P - no type material has been found at P (Feb. 2008).
