COMMENTS: Salvin did not designate a type in the original description, but specimens covered in his paper included Baron’s 1894 specimens in both his and Rothschild’s collections ( Salvin, 1895: 1). AMNH 100259 was exchanged to AMNH by Rothschild in 1907 ; AMNH 518872 was exchanged to Maria Koepcke, MHNJP, in January 1971. AMNH 518873 is marked ‘‘Co-type’’ by Salvin. There are other syntypes in BMNH ( Warren and Harrison, 1971: 289). These specimens had not previously been recognized as types .
