HOLOTYPE: AMNH 142463 About AMNH , adult female, collected above Tafi del Valle , 9500 ft, 26.52S, 65.41W ( Paynter, 1995), Tucumán, Argentina, on 4 April 1916, by Leo E. Miller and Howarth S. Boyle (no. 15959). GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed 17 specimens that he examined, all from the type locality. The 16 paratypes are in AMNH: AMNH 142449– 142462 About AMNH , 142465 About AMNH , 142466 About AMNH , collected 1–4 April 1916. AMNH 142464 About AMNH had been exchanged to BIM in 1923 and returned to AMNH in 1935 when the entire BIM bird collection was donated to AMNH ; therefore it was not available to Chapman when he described tucumanus in 1925 and is not a paratype.
