  ## Comments
  
  This species had first been discovered by Simon Muller when examining material from Ditsong National Museum of Natural History in Pretoria and Natural History Museum in London, who had given it the name 'alba' in an unpublished graduation thesis (Muller, 1980: 65). As a valid description of that name had never been published, Häuser and Boppré (1997) took the pleasure to name this species in dedication to its discoverer.
