COMMENTS:
Stresemann
gave
Heinrich’s
unique field number of the
holotype
in the original description without saying how many specimens were in his type series, nor did he later (
Stresemann, 1940: 48
) add this information.
Heinrich’s
collection was made jointly for
AMNH
and
ZMB
, and the specimens were divided between them, with types coming to
AMNH
;
specimens in both
ZMB
and
AMNH
are
paratypes
.
Paratypes
in
AMNH
are:
AMNH 293287–293299
,
293301–293354
;
of these,
AMNH 293292
was a gift in
October 1932
to
Professor Sarasin in Basel
(now probably in
NMB
)
;
AMNH 293307
and 293328 were given in
October 1932
to E.D. van
Oort
(now in
RMNH
, see
Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 30
),
AMNH 293310
and 293325 were exchanged in
July 1932
to
MCZ
, and
AMNH 293337
was exchanged in
January 1950
to
YPM
.
