HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 672036
, immature male, collected at
Trincomalee
(= Trincomali)
08.34N
,
81.13E
(
Lozupone et al., 2004
),
Sri Lanka
(= Ceylon), on
22 December 1874
(not 23 December, as in description), by
W.V. Legge. From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: The
holotype
is the only Legge specimen of this form that came to AMNH with the Rothschild collection. As noted by
Vaurie (1949b: 247)
, it is immature and was marked ‘‘juv s’’ by Legge. Two other AMNH specimens that are undated are not considered
paratypes
. However, inclusive measurements were given by Stuart Baker for
minimus
, and such specimens in other institutions measured by him would be
paratypes
.
