HOLOTYPE: AMNH 118355 View Materials , adult female, collected at Barbacoas, 01.41N, 78.09W GoogleMaps

( Paynter, 1997), Nariño, southwestern Colombia, on 5 August 1912, by William B. Richardson.

COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed measurements for six males and four females in addition to the holotype. In addition to the birds Chapman measured, there are four specimens that would have been available to him but were either missexed or immature. These 14 specimens, all collected by William B. Richardson, are considered paratypes of aequatorialis: Barbacoas , AMNH 118356 View Materials , immature sex?, 5 October 1912 ; Tumaco , AMNH 118357–118359 View Materials , one male, one female?, one immature male, 28–30 July 1912 ; Esmeraldas, AMNH 119049–119054 View Materials , three males, three females, 5 November to 1 December 1912 ; Manavi , AMNH 120246 View Materials , male, 16 December 1912, AMNH 120247 View Materials , male, 14 February 1913, AMNH 125225 View Materials , ‘‘female’’ in male plumage, 7 March 1913 ; Daule , AMNH 125224 View Materials , female, 28 April 1913. Of these AMNH 119053 View Materials , female from Esmeraldas, was exchanged to ANSP in July 1928. Two additional specimens, AMNH 155194 View Materials and 155195, females, were collected by Richardson at Esmeraldas on 26 October and 4 December 1912, but these two specimens were not cataloged until August 1920, after aequatorialis was described, and they are not paratypes ; one of these, AMNH 155194 View Materials , was exchanged to MCZ in July 1928 .
