MHNG 867.021: adult male, collected in Colombia (Narino, Pasto), unknown date and collector . Originally from the Boucard collection (Paris), it belonged to the Vaucher collection, which was acquired by the MHNG in 1941. The locality corresponds to the type series’, but we don’t know if this specimen was collected by A. De Lattre. Boucard (1895: 260) did not provide specimen information for this species in his monograph on hummingbirds based on his personal bird collection.
