Type Material
It has been suggested (Wheeler 1936) that C. saussurei is not found on St. Thomas and is an endemic Hispaniola species despite being described from this other island. Wheeler stated there was potential confusion with some of the collections of Henri de Saussure, whom visited both St. Thomas and Haiti in 1857.
