Specimen data
: “Palmistre

” [Handwritten (by Lamont)]. “Lamont Collection 1950-16” [Printed] with label with “

” [Handwritten in red ink], glued to it. “

holotype
status of specimen by M. J. W.Cock, 1997.
Remarks
: This Lamont specimen from Palmistre,
Trinidad
on
8th January 1921
is unambiguously the
holotype
and is illustrated in colour in Pl. I: fig. 16 (
Kaye 1922
,
Kaye & Lamont 1927
).
Poole (1989)
erroneously suggests that the [holo]
type
is in the BM(NH).
