content: As of Dec 2017, there were two jars in the collection with the number 43791. One of them had a specimen of Serpa hoffmani clearly labeled as a paratype. In his description, Fowler noted the holotype as USNM 43790 and stated "Also paratype," without giving a catalog number or any information on the specimen. The ledger entry for 43791 originally listed 11 specimens, later crossed out and replaced by 7. There is no information on whether the paratype was removed from this jar or what happened to the other specimens removed. As of Dec 2017 this lot contained seven specimens and was identified as Notoscopelus resplendens, currently considered a senior synonym of Serpa hoffmani. It was recatalogued as USNM 441899.
