HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 42316
, [female by measurements], collected at
Volcan
de Fuego
,
14.28N
,
90.57W
(
Selander and Vaurie, 1962
),
Sacatepéquez
/
Chimaltenango
,
Guatemala
, on
18 September 1859
, by
Osbert Salvin
(no. 1373).
From
the
Salvin Collection
(no. 20440) via the
George N. Lawrence Collection.
COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the
holotype
was given in the original description. In addition to the
holotype
, Miller and Griscom examined four
paratypes
, three males and one female.
Paratypes
in AMNH:
Quetzaltenango
,
AMNH 399373
(Dwight no. 56411, Smith no. 19015),
11 November 1919
,
AMNH 399374
(56413, 19206),
26 November 1919
,
AMNH 399375
(56412, 19117),
18 November 1919
, three males, all collected by Austin Paul Smith. I did not find the female
paratype
at AMNH, either in the catalog or in the collection.
Hellmayr (1934: 65)
expressed doubts about the validity of
ridgwayi
, and
Phillips (1986: 44–45)
and
Dickinson (2003: 507)
did not recognize it;
Greene et al. (1998: 3–5)
and
dos Anjos (2009: 568–569)
did recognize it.
