Syntype
(s) (sex and number of specimens not given in original description, or in
Jeannel, 1936
) in DEIC (as “Museum Dahlem”, in
Jeannel, 1936
). Type locality: “Yungas” (collected by “Germain”) [Note: Probably Philibert Germain, who collected around
Cochabamba
,
Cochabamba Department
,
Bolivia
in 1889 (
Papavero, 1971: 161
). In 1889 the region was broadly called Yungas, and we can find no mention of it as a political region at that time.
Cochabamba
was one of the few places providing access to the Yungas in 1889. The term is still used for this ecoregion of mid elevation wet forest on the east slopes of the Andes of
Bolivia
