Notes: The locality of the holotype was not given in the original description, but it is most probably "Chatham, Va." as the original description is based on a specimen from this locality (Hoffman, 1995 - Banisteria, 5: 23). incorrectly recorded also from Alaska by Attems (1929 - Das Tierreich, 52: 218) because of the misinterpretation of one of the localities listed by Chamberlin (1912 - Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoölogy, 54: 418).
