Type

Barbados
on
April 25–26, 1938
. Cockerell described both sexes of this species, but he did not indicate how many specimens of each sex he used. Apparently, the type series was composed of at least one male and two females, which were found at
NMNH
. The male was chosen as

. and it was labeled by Cockerell as such. The male
holotype
