Metallura jelskii
Cabanis
Metallura jelskii
Cabanis, 1874
: 99
.
Now
:
Metallura phoebe
(Lesson & DeLattre, 1839)
. See
Cory (1918: 268)
.
Type
series
:
Cabanis (1874: 99–100)
based this species on two specimens in spirit, collected by Jelski on an unknown date or dates and an unknown locality or localities. Both these
syntypes
are still in the
ZMB
. The MIZ thus never possessed
types
of this species (contra
Taczanowski 1889
: 11,
Sztolcman & Domaniewski 1927
: 111; see
Mlíkovský 2009b
for details).
Syntype
:
ZMB
21363, unsexed, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [=
May to September 1871
] at "Maraynioc?" [= Maraynioc,
Peru
]. Received in spirit (cf.
Cabanis 1874
: 97).
Syntype
: ZMB 21364, unsexed, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [=
May to September 1871
] at "Maraynioc?" [= Maraynioc,
Peru
]. Received in spirit (cf.
Cabanis 1874
: 97).
Type
locality
:
Cabanis (1874: 100)
was unaware of the locality at which these
syntypes
were collected, but tentatively assumed that "Maraynioc" was their place of origin. This was confirmed by
Taczanowski (1875: 544)
. The
type
locality of this species is thus Maraynioc,
Peru
[
11.37°S
,
75.40°W
].
