COMMENTS:
In
the original description, male number 42 from
Mt. Derimapa
was designated as the
holotype
.
This
specimen bears only an
AMNH
type label, which was incorrectly marked ‘‘
syntype
.’’ A second
AMNH
type label has been added, indicating that it is a
holotype
.
Shaw Mayer’s
collecting in the
Gebroeders
was supported jointly by
Leonard C. Sanford
for
AMNH
and
Walter Rothschild
and was to be divided between the two museums.
However
, before this division occurred,
Rothschild
sold his collection to
AMNH
and
Shaw Mayer’s
specimens all came directly to
AMNH
.
Rothschild’s
type series comprised
two males
from
Mt. Derimapa
and
one female
from the
Siriwo
River
.
The
two paratypes
are:
AMNH 302922
(Shaw Mayer no. 83), male,
Mt. Derimapa
,
28 June 1930
;
AMNH 302923
(4), female,
Siriwo
River
,
30 miles
above mouth,
9 June 1930
.
