 This form was described simply as from the "West Indies." On April 

 12, 1906, Ridgway informed Richmond that he "thought" the type was from 

 Jamaica, and Jamaica has been in any case generally accepted as the type 

 locality. Richmond selected No. 22222 as the type, but that specimen has 

 no better claim than No. 22225, with the same data and received in Wash- 

 ington at the same time. No. 22224 was sent to Buenos Aires more than 

 eight years before the race was named. No. 22223 may have been a cotype, 

 but it has vanished without trace.
