Meek (no. 1696). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Rothschild and Hartert cited Meek’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description but did not mention other specimens. However, Hartert (1898a: 527) , in his account of Meek’s 1898 collection from Tacuta, reported under Ptilotis notata that Meek sent a series of seven specimens . Only six of those specimens came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. The five paratypes in AMNH are: males, AMNH 695917 (Meek no. 1723), AMNH 695919 (1712) ; females, AMNH 695927– 695929 (1603, 1743, 1785) .
