COMMENTS
: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description but noted that
three males
and
one female
were collected. Later,
Hartert (1920: 493)
listed Meek specimen number 1382 as the type, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. The
three paralectotypes
are:
AMNH 606620
and 606622, males
;
and
AMNH 606630
, female
.
