Syntypes (originally believed to be 2 specimens, but see below; photographed in Lindeman 2013:281): USNM 8808 (2 specimens); the skull of one of the syntypes was removed and apparently catalogued as USNM Osteo 29526, but now both the specimen and its skull are numbered USNM 318254 ( Reynolds et al. 2007:15). Cochran (1961:231) and Lovich (1985) recorded both USNM 8808 and Osteo 29526 as the syntypes. USNM 8808 designated lectotype by Lovich & McCoy (1992:304). FMNH 22171 (reported as “cotype” by Marx 1958:449) and USNM 220884 (not reported by Reynolds et al. 2007) were subsequently identified by Lindeman (2013:280) as additional syntypes. A detailed history of the confusion regarding the types of this species appears in Lindeman (2013:279–281).
