HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 118355

COMMENTS:
Chapman
cited the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
in the original description and listed measurements for six males and four females in addition to the
holotype
.
In
addition to the birds
Chapman
measured, there are four specimens that would have been available to him but were either missexed or immature.
These
14 specimens
, all collected by
William B. Richardson
, are considered
paratypes
of
aequatorialis
:
Barbacoas
,
AMNH 118356
, immature sex?,
5 October 1912
;
Tumaco
,
AMNH 118357–118359
, one male, one female?, one immature male,
28–30 July 1912
;
Esmeraldas
,
AMNH 119049–119054
, three males, three females,
5 November to 1 December 1912
;
Manavi
,
AMNH 120246
, male,
16 December 1912
,
AMNH 120247
, male,
14 February 1913
,
AMNH 125225
, ‘‘female’’ in male plumage,
7 March 1913
;
Daule
,
AMNH 125224
, female,
28 April 1913
.
Of
these
AMNH 119053
, female from
Esmeraldas
, was exchanged to
ANSP
in
July 1928
.
Two
additional specimens,
AMNH 155194
and 155195, females, were collected by
Richardson
at
Esmeraldas
on
26 October and 4 December 1912
, but these two specimens were not cataloged until
August 1920
, after
aequatorialis
was described, and they are not
paratypes
;
one of these,
AMNH 155194
, was exchanged to
MCZ
in
July 1928
.
