Corbet, 1978:120, included amoenus and quadrimaculatus in nanus; but see Petter, 1975, Part 6.3:11, who included amoenus and quadrimaculatus in campestris, and Osborn and Helmy, 1980, Fieldiana Zool., n.s., 5:167 (followed here), who considered amoenus and mackilligini distinct species.

Yalden et al., 1976, Monitore Zool. ItaL, suppl. 8: 27, discussed brockmani. May include grobbeni, hilda, and quadrimaculatus (DML), who regards brockmani and garamantis as distinct species pending revision.
