Paraiulus aztecus Pocock, 1903:56 View in CoL –57, pl. 5, figs. 10, 10a–b. Loomis, 1968a:75. Hoffman, 1999:169. Bueno-Villegas et al., 2004:589.

Type specimens. ɗ lectotype and 4ɗ, 7Ψ, and ca. 15 juvenile paralectotypes ( BMNH) collected by H. H. Smith on an unknown date at Omilteme, Guerrero, Mexico; another juvenile paralectotype ( BMNH) taken on an unknown date by an unknown collector at Chilpancingo, Guerrero. Omilteme is a settlement in the Sierra Madre del Sur located 16 km ( 10 mi) WSW Chilpancingo; coordinates are 17° 30' N, 99° 40' W ( Selander & Vaurie 1962). The lectotype was selected and labeled on an unknown date by N. B. Causey, and I now formalize this assignment.

Potential diagnostic features. The long, diverging, subrectangular ag coxal processes, the relatively short processes of the complex pgs, and the narrow, curved, apically hirsute branch ( hb) of the latter.

Habitat. The types were collected at 2,400 m ( 8,000 ft) elevation.

Distribution. The juvenile paralectotype from Chilpancingo is assigned to " P." aztecus because of its proximity to Omilteme, the only definite locality for the species; however, a different species may occur there. The following sample is also available from this city and may be referrable to " P." aztecus .
