HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 31363
, adult male, collected at
Chapada dos Guimarães
(5 Chapada),
15.26S
,
55.45W
(
Paynter and Traylor, 1991
),
Mato Grosso
,
Brazil
, on
28 August 1885
, by
Herbert H. Smith.
COMMENTS:
Zimmer
cited the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
in the original description and listed the specimens he examined: Chapada,
21 males
in addition to the type,
eight females
; Abrilongo,
two males
; Tapirapoan,
two males
,
one female
;
Utiarity
,
one female
.
Many
of the original large series of these
H.H. Smith
specimens were exchanged with other collections long before
Zimmer
named
violaceus
, and apparently often the catalog was not so marked.
The
number of
Smith
specimens of
violaceus
now in
AMNH
corresponds to the number of specimens examined by
Zimmer
and I consider them
paratypes
of the name.
