Cratomorphus altivolans
Gorham, 1884
Cratomorphus altivolans
Gorham 1884: 270
One specimen was located bearing a red “type” label.
Gorham (1884)
mentions only seeing a single specimen which he figured. The specimen located did not indicate if it was figured, however, due to confidence in the rest of the labels including those which are handwritten, we determine that this specimen is the
holotype
. Labels for the determined
holotype
specimen are as follows: “
♂
” “Type” “V. de
Chiriqui
,/
2-3000 ft.
/Champion.” “B.C.A.Col.III. (2)./
Cratomorphus
/altivolans/Gorham” “
Cratomorphus
/altivolans/Gorham.” “NHMUK 013584671”. A red label is added with the following text: “
HOLOTYPE
/
Cratomorphus altivolans
Gorham
/Determined by/Martin and Saxton 2020”.
