Higgins (1940: 51-52): “Described from three old but well-preserved male specimens labelled “casta Koll. Mai- Askhabad.” These were found in the collection at Tring Museum, and the labels are of the type used by Staudinger in the last century. There is no indication to suggest how these three specimens arrived in the collection. It is likely that “Askhabad” is used in a wide sende to indicate collection carried out from this centre. [...] The type-specimens have been placed in the British Museum.”
