HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 597265
, adult male, collected at
San Pedro
,
400 ft
,
Santa Maria Island
,
36.58N
,
25.07W
(Times Atlas), Azores, on
3 March 1903
, by
W.R. Ogilvie-Grant
(no. 56).
From
the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: Vaurie gave the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
in the original description and noted that he had
five specimens
from Santa Maria. The
four paratypes
are
AMNH 597263
,
597264
,
597266
, and 597267, all collected by
Ogilvie-Grant
in 1903.
His
entire collection was reported on by
Hartert and Ogilvie-Grant (1905)
, where
one female
and
nine male
specimens were listed.
Because
support for the trip came from
Rothschild
, and
Ogilvie-Grant
was given leave of absence by
BMNH
, the collection was equally divided between the two sponsors.
Rothschild’s
specimens came to
AMNH
in 1932
; the BMNH specimens were not studied by Vaurie.
