Plusiodonta CUPRISTRIA Kaye, 1922

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 67, 991–998[994], pl. I: fig. 16. Combination still valid (see Poole 1989).

Holotype, female, pinned:

Specimen data: “Palmistre 8/1/21 ” [Handwritten (by Lamont)]. “Lamont Collection 1950-16” [Printed] with label with “ TYPE ” [Handwritten in red ink], glued to it. “ Plusiodonta cupristria Kaye ” [Handwritten Lamont cabinet label]. Label justifying holotype status of specimen by M. J. W.Cock, 1997.

Remarks: This Lamont specimen from Palmistre, Trinidad on 8th January 1921 is unambiguously the holotype and is illustrated in colour in Pl. I: fig. 16 ( Kaye 1922, Kaye & Lamont 1927). Poole (1989) erroneously suggests that the [holo] type is in the BM(NH).
