HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 569844
, adult male, collected at
Esperanza
,
Tenerife Island
,
Canary Islands
, on
22 March 1901
, by
Dr. Curt Floericke
(no. 1282).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: The single specimen from Esperanza was designated the type in the original description. There are
three paratypes
in AMNH, all from Tenerife: AMNH 569845, male,
Laguna
,
February 1901
, collected by R. von Thanner; AMNH 569846, male,
Laguna
, 11 March (not April) 1901, collected by C. Floericke (no. 1268); and AMNH 569847, female, Mercedes,
7 January 1901
, collected by C. Floericke (no. 1176).
Hartert (1901b: 322)
listed
two males
and
two females
from the
Canary Islands
in the Rothschild Collection. This was apparently an error, as the above
three males
and
one female
are the only
Canary Islands
specimens collected at an early enough date to have been part of the type series. Hartert also listed other
paratypes
in ZFMK and BMNH (
Hartert, 1901b: 322
).
According to
Seltzer (1962: 1602)
, La Esperanza is now known as El Rosario,
28°27′N
,
16°23′W
(Times Atlas).
