Labelled paratype, but not designated in publication. Paratypes for this species are designated in publication, but are unclear: "List of Chamberlin species" file includes paratypes but does not list 2165 as a parataype. 2152, 2854 and 2855 are listed in the publication, but were not found in the collections during the 2000 collections search. 2154 and 2165 are labelled paratype, but are not listed in the publication. 2149-2151, and 2153 are OK - they are both labelled and designated as paratypes.
