"A holotype is one of several possible biological types. A type is what fixes a name to a taxon. A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism, known to have been used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described. It is either the single such physical example (or illustration) or one of several such, but explicitly designated as the holotype." - Wikipedia. Each specimen was designated in the Fall of 2009 and is made of ink on watercolor paper and measure 5 x 7 inches. Click on the illustrations for a larger view.
