Redescription
Scientific Name Notes It appears this paper was published twice. Once, as a separate article in 1924 and again in 1925 along with the other papers in Volume 64. Thus, 1924 is the correct date for this name. Although Linton does not use the n. gen. designation, this is the first use of this name we have found.
