Six paralectotypes, 2 males, 8.0 and 8.2 mm, and 4 females, 9.2, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.8 mm, with the same labels except the latter, the last specimen with an additional label: Sphenoptera hispidula Rttr. [h] det. Daniel [p]. Sphenoptera sancta REITTER, 1890b: 277, 280. - Lectotype, male, 12.0 mm. Labels: Caucasus. Araxesthal. Leder. Reitter [p] / Coll. Reitter [p].
