Type material.
NHMUK 1854.12.4.152-157, 53 paralectotypes ( d’Orbigny coll.).
Remarks.
In d’Orbigny (1838 [1834-1847]) the type locality is specified for two varieties, var. major and var. minor. Var. major was found especially at "la porte de Tasajos et du bourg de Pampa grande". Var. minor occurs in the forests bordering the "Rio grande", the forests bordering "Rio de Tacabaca, entre San-Juan et Santo-Corazon de Chiquitos et aux environs de cette première Mission [San Juan]". See also Breure (1973). The six lots in NHMUK represent two different varieties recognized by d’Orbigny, which are as such not mentioned in his papers, labelled as ”B” and ”C”. Lot 1854.12.4.152 consists of five specimens ("var. B"), the largest with H = 33.7. Lot. 153 has seven specimens of the same variety, the largest with H = 33.9. Lot. 154 consists of eight juveniles ("var. C"). Lot. 155 consisted originally of eight specimens, one is now missing; one corresponds to d’Orbigny 1837 [1834-1847]: pl. 31 figs 7-8 and is re-figured herein. Lot. 156 originally counted 16 specimens (one now missing), the largest measures H = 31.5. Finally, lot. 157 has 11 specimens of which the largest has H = 30.9. All material belongs to the same species, contrasting the findings of Breure (1975b) for the material in MNHN.
Current systematic position.
