PUERTO RICAN AMAZON Amazona vittata CR

Psittacus vittatus Boddaert, 1783

MZUT AV1939; previously mounted; adult female; ‘Santo Domingo’, but captive; donated by Mrs Bongioanni in April 1822 .

MZUT AV9448; previously mounted; unsexed adult; captive; from the Royal Zoological Garden of Torino, in 1879.

Remarks.— MZUT AV1939 cannot be from Santo Domingo (i.e. the Dominican Republic), because A. vittata is confined to Puerto Rico. We have been unable to discover anything about Mrs Bongioanni.
