COMMENTS: Although there was no number or year given or place of deposit mentioned in Phillips’ description of crossini, this specimen is marked ‘‘ crossini type’’ by Phillips on the Phillips Collection label. The AMNH number of the holotype is given by Dickerman and Parkes (1997: 230). Phillips gave measurements for males and females and said that the form was resident in ‘‘coastal mts of Michoacán, Guerrero, and Sn Oaxaca, and probably coastally from Sn Jalisco (Sa. de Autlán 5 Miahuatlán) all the way to Veracruz, etc.,’’ but did not enumerate his specimens. The holotype is the only specimen that came to AMNH.
