HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 398772
, adult male, collected at
Sacapulas
,
Río Negro Valley
, interior of
Guatemala
, on
12 February 1928
, by
A.W. Anthony
(no. 6563).
From
the
Jonathan Dwight Collection.
COMMENTS: Griscom cited Anthony’s unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description (the specimen had no Dwight number), and (on p. 17) noted that he had
17 specimens
.
Griscom (1932: 397)
gave these as
14 males
and three females;
the
11 paratypes
, all from Sacapulas, in
AMNH
are:
AMNH 398769–398771
,
398773–398780
, eight males, three females,
4 February–24 March 1928
, by
A.W. Anthony. Part
of the collection was sent to
MCZ
before cataloging, therefore, the additional
paratypes
may be in that institution
.
Hellmayr (1937: 156)
considered
maximus
a synonym of
alticola
, and was followed by Blake (1968: 157).
Howell and Webb (1995: 748)
recognized
maximus
, as did
Dickinson (2003: 771)
and
Fraga (2011: 763)
.
Griscom (1932: 421
, map) noted that Sacapulas was
25 mi
north of Quiche´, at ca.
15.15N
,
91.10W
.
