Remarks

Wood & Gallichan, 2008:
Type material: Syntype:- ‘Type’ NMW.1955.158.24199 1 spec. (e); Possible Syntype:- ‘Cotype’ RBINS.10591 1 spec. (ne)
Type locality: Not given (‘Île d’Utilla, République du Honduras’ in the introduction of the paper) [M. Chas. T. Simpson]
Remarks: Originally spelt andrewsæ. Ancey (1904f: 308) later put this species in the genus Colobostylus. He also disregarded the genus Chondropoma in which Kobelt & Möllendorff had placed it. Type evidence: The NMW specimen has a Geret type label bearing the type locality and Geret’s sales list indicates a type lot from Ancey’s collection was sold to Tomlin. The NMW specimen closely matches measurements given in the paper. The RBINS specimen has a Dautzenberg cotype label stating Geret ex Ancey and it is from the type locality. There are no Ancey or Geret labels present.
