Arremonops conirostris inexpectata Chapman

Arremonops conirostris inexpectata Chapman, 1914a: 184 (Western slope of Eastern Andes below Andalucia (alt. 3000 ft. )).

Now Arremonops conirostris inexpectatus Chapman, 1914 . See Hellmayr, 1938: 445, and Dickinson, 2003: 798.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 117120 , adult male, collected on the western slope of the eastern Andes below Andalucia, 3000 ft, 01.54N, 75.40W ( Paynter, 1997), Huila, Colombia, on 6 June 1912, by Leo E. Miller (no. 3120).

COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and had eight adult and five juvenile specimens. The 12 paratypes are: AMNH 117116–117119 , 117121–117123 , four males and three females ; AMNH 117124–117128 , one male, three female and one unsexed juvenile, all collected on the western slope of the eastern Andes below Andalucia. Of these, AMNH 117116 and 117119 were exchanged to the BMNH in May 1921, and AMNH 117118 and 117127 were exchanged with O. Bangs in September 1918 and are now in MCZ .
