COMMENTS:
Lawrence
noted that he had a single specimen and said ‘‘I think it may possibly be distinct; should it so prove on a future comparison I suggest for it the specific name of
virginalis
.
’’ He did not compare it with his specimen of ‘‘
V. atripennis
,’’ listed immediately prior to this description (see above).
Baird (1866: 330–331)
found both of these specimens indistinguishable from
V. altiloquus
.
