Conservation status: Good condition; slide-mounted (Balsam); FSCA 00071474 ( Figs. 169a, b ), FSCA 00071475 (Figs. 170a, b), FSCA 00071476 (Figs. 171a, b). Additional notes: Like the slides of Lindingaspis floridana , the typed “ paratype ” has been crossed out in pencil and replaced with “ syntype ” making the identity of these slides as syntypes unclear. ECP also examined photographs of the five slides with the same label data in the Bohart collection at UC Davis (where most of Ferris’s collection and type material was deposited) but they are not labeled as type material and the handwriting differs from the slides deposited at FSCA. We have an additional 9 paratype slides in the FSCA with the same label data as the syntypes reported here.
