Taxonomic Issue
The specific epithet of this species has been rendered as ''"resinus"'' as appeared in one of Herre's two 1924 papers regarding this species. In the other the specific epithet is given as ''"resimus"''. It is uncertain as to which paper was published first, however he gave the

lapsus calami'' if published first or an erroneous subsequent spelling if published last.
