COMMENTS: Mathews did not indicate a type;
therefore, all of the specimens collected by
Kemp
at
Normanton
must be considered
syntypes
.
AMNH 657901
, immature male, was described in
Mathews (1920: 225–226)
but was not figured, and no statement was made as to its type status
; its label is marked ‘‘described.’’
Mayr (1967: 24)
listed
intercedens
as a synonym of
P. pectoralis violetae
; see
Schodde and Mason (1999: 445–446)
for a discussion of species and subspecies limits.
