COMMENTS: The Mathews catalog number of the
holotype
was given in the original description. Mathews did not indicate how many specimens he examined, but the above specimen is the only one he cataloged at that time. In addition to the field label, this specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The ‘‘A693’’ that appears on Rogers’ label refers to
Sphenostoma cristatum
in Mathews’ (1908)
Handlist
.
Mathews (1930: 688)
later synonymized
tanami
with his
Sphenostoma cristatum pallidum
