Type material Type locality is “near the same locality as the last” (near Portland, Maine, U.S.A.). Description with measurements is given. No holotype is known to exist, however a cast (USNM 12306)
believed to represent the holotype is located at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. (Fisher and Ludwig 2016). F. W. True, in a note not seen by us, indicated that Cope’s collection locality is more specifically “from Casco Bay, near Portland, Maine” (Lyon and Osgood 1909, Fisher and Ludwig 2016). [details]
