Remarks
.—These specimens are
syntypes
; their locality is unknown, but Salvadori suspected they came from ‘Guiana’, although the species is now known to be endemic to north-east
Brazil
. They had been kept in captivity by Count Peracca (
Salvadori 1900
), assistant at the Institute of Zoology of the Torino University.
