COMMENTS: Mathews gave sex, locality, and date of collection of the holotype in the original description, and AMNH 654214 is the only specimen with matching data that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. In addition to the original field label, it bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. It was not entered in Mathews’ catalog.
