Comments.
Choriphyllum saussurei
and
C. sagrai
are poorly known, few specimens are recorded and the
holotype
of the latter species was not found (John Hollier, pers. comm.). There are scarce data about
C. sagrai
and we consider this species name to be a
nomen dubium
. There are two females
syntypes
of
C
.
saussurei
, housed at the MHNG (
Paris 1994
) (
Fig. 2
) and another
syntype
at Gundlach’s collection in
Cuba
(
Bolívar 1887
;
Yong and Perez-Gelabert 2014
).
Bolívar (1887)
only provided a general description of
C. saussurei
. Afterwards,
Hancock (1902)
presented the species as
Phyllonotus saussurei
, but
Hancock (1907)
corrected the name justifying a compilation error.
