Remarks. Gressitt (1950)mentioned that the holotypewas collected on 19th April 1940, however, it has 18th Aprilon the label. According to the online database of CAS typesand catalogue of USNM types( Staines & Staines 1997) these collections contain only paratypesof this species thus the LMNH specimen is considered as holotypeand the inconsistency in dates is result of an error. Gressitt also mentioned that paratype(s) were deposited in LMNH, however, we did not find any such specimen.
