bispinipes Wood, 1862:28–29 View in CoL .
Holotype: (MCZ); type locality: San Francisco, San Francisco Co., California, USA.
Original rank: species. Current rank and status: synonym of S. subspinipes Leach, 1815 ( Brölemann 1909, Bücherl 1942 a, Shelley 2002).
Remarks : Kraepelin (1903) and Attems (1930) considered the name to be a synonym of, now, S. subspinipes dehaani Brandt, 1840 , but Shelley (2000, 2002) did not recognize races of this species (see S. subspinipes account). olmeca Humbert & Saussure, 1869:157 .
Syntypes (5 specimens, MHNG [P. Schwendinger, pers. comm.; examined]); type locality: Mexico without further specification.
Original rank: species. Current rank and status: synonym of S. pomacea C. L. Koch, 1847 ( Kraepelin 1903, Attems 1930, Bücherl 1942 a). Based on my current concept (see “ Remarks ” under S. sumichrasti Saussure, 1860 ), this synonymy appears to be correct.
Anatomical illustrations: Saussure & Humbert (1872, pl. 5, figs. 7, 7a).
Remarks: Saussure & Humbert (1872) stated that S. olmeca occurs in temperate regions of the Mexican plateau, at Cuernavaca (Morelos) and Puebla (Puebla). The name was omitted by Bücherl (1974).
