HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 398742
, adult male, collected at
Sacapulas
,
Río Negro Valley
, central
Guatemala
, on
4 February 1928
, by
A.W. Anthony
(no. 6513).
From
the
Jonathan Dwight Collection.
COMMENTS: Griscom cited Anthony’s unique field number for the
holotype
in the original description;
it had no Dwight Collection number.
Griscom (1932: 396)
noted that he had eight males and
10 females
, including the type, from Sacapulas. Of the
17 paratypes
, there are 11 at
AMNH
:
AMNH 398741
,
398743–398752
, four males, seven females,
4 February–13 March 1928
, by
A.W. Anthony. This
collection was divided with
MCZ
before cataloging, and the remaining
paratypes
may be in that institution
.
Hellmayr (1937: 148–149)
recognized
gigas
and considered
xerophilus
a synonym of it. Both Blake (1968: 156) and
Dickinson (2003: 771)
followed him. More recently both
Dickerman (2007: 38)
and
Fraga (2011: 765)
synonymized
gigas
and
xerophilus
with nominate
gularis
.
Sacapulas is on the
Río Negro
,
25 mi
north of Quiche´, at ca.
15.15N
,
91.10W
(
Griscom, 1932: 421
and map). See
Griscom (1932: 11– 15)
for a summary of Anthony’s collecting localities.
