COMMENTS:
Amadon
cited the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
in the original description and listed the specimens for which he gave measurements. I have found all of these specimens and
three immatures
and a female, which Amadon did not measure.
As
all of them were at
AMNH
when
Amadon
published
octaviae
, I consider them
