Notes:
1 specimen found in lot, but 8 expected based on ledger [F. J. Borrero, September 17, 2014]. Fischer-Piette (1950: 71) stated that the holotype is at MNHN-Paris; however, Pease did not select a holotype and gave evidence of basing the description on multiple specimens. Ledger says “with 59048”. | Provenance history: Pease, W. H.
