Euscarthmus pyrrhops
Cabanis, 1874
: 98
.
Now
:
Hemitriccus granadensis pyrrhops
(
Cabanis, 1874
)
. See
Cory & Hellmayr (1927: 318)
.
Type
series
:
Cabanis (1874: 98)
did not specify how many specimens he had at his disposal, but described only a bird in male plumage. The Accession Catalogue of the
ZMB
includes only a single relevant specimen, which thus represents the
holotype
of this species. The specimen is deposited in the
ZMB
.
Holotype
:
ZMB
21612 (B-10241), unsexed, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [=
May to September 1871
] in "central
Peru
" [= Maraynioc,
Peru
]. Received in spirit (cf.
Cabanis 1874
: 97).
Type
locality
:
Cabanis (1874)
knew only that the
holotype
of this species originated from "central
Peru
", but
Taczanowski (1875: 535)
wrote that the (holotypical) male was collected at "Maraynioc". We thus restrict the
type
locality of this species from "central
Peru
" to Maraynioc,
Peru
[
11.37°S
,
75.40°W
].
Remarks
:
Taczanowski (1889: 16)
and
Sztolcman & Domaniewski (1927: 141)
claimed that
types
of this species are deposited in the MIZ, listing a female collected by Jelski in 1873 at "Tambopata", and a female collected by J. Kalinowski in 1892 (!) at "Maraynioc", respectively, as the
types
. Neither of these specimens has a
type
status, because the former was unknown to Cabanis and the latter was collected 18 years after the species was described (see
Mlíkovský 2009b
for details).
