MZUT
AV9448; previously mounted; unsexed adult; captive; from the Royal Zoological Garden of Torino, in 1879.
Remarks
.—
MZUT
AV1939 cannot be from
Santo Domingo
(i.e.
the Dominican
Republic), because
A. vittata
is confined to
Puerto Rico
. We have been unable to discover anything about Mrs Bongioanni.
