COMMENTS: In the original description, Ridgway gave Baur’s unique field number of the holotype, but did not mention the number of specimens examined. The holotype bears an unnumbered USNM type label filled in by Ridgway, a Rothschild type label, with reference to the description and Baur’s field no., a Rothschild Collection label, and Baur’s original label. There are two paratypes in AMNH: AMNH 518003, male, and AMNH 518006, female, both collected on 8 August 1891, from the Baur Collection (no number, and no. 464 respectively).
