Remarks
Gray cited one of the syntype collector's name as Lettermann and the epithet as Lettermanni. The honoree's name, however, is: George W. Letterman. A syntype specimen label (GH) shows the collector's name as G.W. Letterman. Accordingly, the published epithet Lettermanni is treated as an error and is corrected to lettermanii.
