Field notes: 
2744: Hofstenia miamia Corrêa, Antigua 1, M56 (Hofstenia miamia Correa, 1960, Florida, Virginia Key, Antigua 1, Leg.: D.D. Correa, M56; by T.G. Karling). 2744a: Hofstenia miamia Corrêa, Antigua 2, M57 (Hofstenia miamia Correa, 1960, Florida, Virginia Key, Antigua 2, Leg.: D.D. Correa, M57; by T.G. Karling)
Remarks: 

In: Corrêa, D.D. 1960: 211-214, Figs. 4-6. It is difficult to know if these two slides represent the holotype. The set of slides mentioned in Corrêa (1960) should be numbered M2, while the slides in our collection are numbered M56 and M57 (in a series of 14 slides: M44 - M57). The original labels (reverse side of slides) indicate Antigua as sampling site, which is referred to in Corrêa (1963) as sampled by P.W. Hummelinck.
