occidentalis Meinert, 1886:197 View in CoL (non Linnaeus, 1758).
Holotype ( MCZ); type locality: west coast of Mexico .
Original rank: species. Current rank and status: synonym of S. viridis maya Saussure, 1860 ( Kraepelin 1903, Attems 1930, Bücherl 1942 a).
Remarks : Shelley (2002) could not evaluate occidentalis and included it among eight forms occurring south of the US that conform to some degree to S. viridis Say, 1821 . Consequently , the status as a synonym of S. v. maya stands, but the name is also a junior primary homonym of S. occidentalis L., 1758, which is a geophilomorph (see earlier account). The name was omitted by Bücherl (1974).
