CommentFor illustrations see Cochran, 1941; Williams, 1963; Schwartz and Henderson, 1985.

Sexual dimorphism: the carolinensis and hendersoni clades are the most extreme both in male facial elongation and the degree of sexual dimorphism (Sanger et al. 2013).

Species group: Deiroptyx hendersoni species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012). 
EtymologyNamed after Dr. John Brooks Henderson Jr. (1870-1923), American physician, naturalist, and amateur malacologist, specializing in West Indian shells.

A. h. ravidormitans was named after Latin ravus = gray, grayish-yellow, and Latin dormio, dormitus = sleep, given that “they sleep in a drab color”.
