COMMENTS: Whitehead (1899: 211) noted that he obtained only one specimen. The locality Bagnin is written on Whitehead’s label and shown on the map in Whitehead (1899: 83). Between 3 November 1894 and 14 January 1895, Whitehead had stayed for some weeks at Bucay on the Abra River. Then, ill with dysentery, he ascended to an Igorroti village, where he was based for several weeks ( Whitehead, 1899: 84). The specimen remains unique ( Dickinson et al., 2000: 37).
