  • Specimen is labelled paratype, but not designated in publication. Chamberlin designates paratypes for other species in this publication, so technically this is not a paratype - left with paratypes anyway due to Chamberlin's label and difficulty of sorting out Chamberlin's paratypes. No paratype listed in In "List of Chamberlin species"
