gryps var? Saussure & Zehntner, 1894 [Harpagonyx] .

A variety of this species is men-tioned in the original description. There is a ♂ specimen, in the MHNG collection as Oligonyx bicornis Saussure (box 11), which corresponds to the description. It bears two labels: " Atoyac , Vera Cruz. April. H.H.S." and "Harpagonyx gryps Sauss. ♂ var.?" (handwritten on green paper). This specimen may be considered a syntype of H. gryps Saussure & Zehntner, 1894 , although it is clear that Saussure and Zehntner were not sure if it was conspecific with the rest of the type series. A junior synonym of Oligonyx bicornis Saussure, 1869 .
