Note: The type choice intended for publication by Semple (in Jarvis & Turland, Taxon 47: 354. 1998) was published inadvertently by Hoffmann in 1996, who attributed it to "JARVIS et al., pers. comm., design, ined.". Confirmation that the choice is attributable to Semple is provided in the 1998 paper.
