COMMENTS
: The AMNH number of the
holotype
was given in the original description. In their type series, Murphy and Chapin had a total of
46 specimens
from Santa Maria, Terceira, Pico, Fayal, San Jorge, and
Flores
islands, Azores. Included were specimens in the BMNH and José and Virginia Correia’s specimens from 1921–1922 and 1927.
Paratypes
in AMNH are: AMNH 168690–168692 (Fayal, 1922), AMNH 168892 and 168893 (Fayal, 1921), AMNH 222331 and 222333–222335 (Pico, 1927), and AMNH 222336 and 222337 (Fayal, 1927). Specimens from the Rothschild Collection are not
paratypes
, as they only came to AMNH in 1932.
