This name was based upon an unstated number of specimens from "Costa 

 Rica and Veragua"; the four here listed seem to have been the only ones 

 available to Ridgway in 1887, and all must be considered equivalent cotypes. 

 At some time unknown Ridgway made No. 62009 the lectotype, probably 

 simply because it is a male and is less badly prepared than No. 42870. His 

 unthinking selection leads into a curious predicament any one who attaches 

 importance to a lectotype, since No. 62009 comes not from Veraguas, but 

 from Chiriqui, and thus from a locality from which the form was not 

 recorded at the original description. Its oldest label is one of Arce's, on 

 which appears the printed name "Veragua," followed by the name "Chiriqui" 

 in ink; "Veragua" presumably should have been crossed out. Ridgway 

 seems to have supposed that Chiriqui was a settlement in Veraguas, rather 

 than a region of equal political status. In any event, until the populations 

 of Costa Rica and western Panama are shown to be distinguishable, all foui 

 specimens must be listed as cotypes.
