Holotype

From collection: USNM
Notes: r.f. Schoepfia arborescens. There are three specimens in the USNM collection with virtually identical collecting data, two of which bear labels in Fernalds hand indicating type; the latter two are undoubtedly the two males that comprise the original series. Although Miller (1970) was unable to find the holotype, one of the males (this specimen) bears a red USNM type label (Type 5413) consistent with the original description, implicating it as the holotype.
