Notes. A Montagnes d’Alvarez locality name probably refers to the low mountains east of the city of San Luis Potosi. In this area, there is the railroad station and the settlement of Alvarez, about 35 km southeast of the city and a village of Alvares 29 km east of the city (Selander & Vaurier 1962: 20); another possible location is Barranca Los Alvarez, in Michoacan, Mpty. Coalcomán de Vázquez Pallares. Records of S. w-signata from Colombia are published but this specimen was determined by Bormans as columbiana ( Brindle 1968c: 275). Data omitted by Sakai (2004): 635.
