The five paratypes are: Belize (5 British Honduras), AMNH 59871 About AMNH , male, 18 January 1890 ; AMNH 59872 About AMNH , female, 19 January 1890, both collected by D.P. Ingraham.

Griscom designated AMNH 254749 as the type of rooensis but tied the type label on 254748. The two specimens differ in color, with AMNH 254749 darker. Both specimens are retained in the type collection, with a label added to AMNH 254748 to explain its paratype status.
