Mico argentatus
(ZMB_MAM 284) and
Saguinus niger
(ZMB_MAM 289)
According to specimen’s labels and the Generalkatalog, these two callitrichids were collected by Sellow.
The
Saguinus niger
(
ZMB
_MAM 289, skin only) has “
Pará
” as the locality (
Fig. 7
d). The
Mico argentatus
(
ZMB
_MAM 284, skin only) label reads “Brasilien” (
Fig. 7
c). These two taxa are restricted to the Amazonia of the Brazilian state of
Pará
(
Rylands and Mittermeier 2013
) and more likely were collected by
Sieber
, who acquired specimens in that region for
Hoffmannsegg
(
Ávila-Pires 1967
).
Ávila-Pires
(1967)
reported on a similar discrepancy for specimens of the bristle-spined rat,
Chaetomys subspinosus
(
e.g.
,
ZMB
_MAM 1300), an animal restricted to the
Atlantic Forest
of
Rio de Janeiro
,
Minas Gerais
,
Espírito Santo
,
Bahia
, and
Sergipe
, but whose specimen labels and catalogue entries read “
Cametá
,” a locality in the
Amazonia
of
Pará
, northern
Brazil
, where
Sieber
made collections.
