Loxigilla Chazaliei Oustalet

Loxigilla Chazaliei Oustalet, 1895: 184 ( Barbuda) . Now Loxigilla noctis ridgwayi (Cory, 1892) . See

Hellmayr, 1938: 163, and Dickinson, 2003: 795.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 514322, male, and AMNH 514323, male, collected on Barbuda Island, Lesser Antilles, West Indies, on 25 February 1895, by Comte de Dalmas (nos. 159 and 158, respectively). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Oustalet did not designate a type, but noted that Dalmas had collected two specimens; Hartert (1919: 156) listed these two syntypes but with the incorrect date of 15 February. The original labels of both are marked ‘‘Type.’’ The species name was from Dalmas’ yacht, ‘‘ Chazalie.’’ Hellmayr (1931: 163) noted that Rothschild had purchased most of Dalmas’ collection.
