Catamenia analoides söderstromi Chapman

Catamenia analoides söderstromi Chapman, 1924: 9 (El Paso, 9200 ft., Prov. Azuay, Ecuador).

Now Catamenia analis soderstromi Chapman, 1924 . See Chapman, 1926, Hellmayr, 1938: 231, Dickinson, 2003: 794, and Ridgely and Tudor, 2009: 649.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 168098 , adult male, collected at Hacienda El Paso (5 El Paso), 9200 ft, 03.22S, 79.05W ( Paynter, 1993), near Nabon , Rio Charcay, Azuay, Ecuador, on 14 January 1921, by George K. Cherrie (no. 23053).

COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. His type series comprised three males from Valle de Cumbaya, eight males from El Paso, and three males from Quito. Paratypes are: Valle de Cumbaya, AMNH 124972–124974, three males collected in May and July 1913; El Paso, AMNH 168093– 168097, 168099, 168100, seven males collected in January 1921; and Quito, AMNH 173543, male, AMNH 173544, sexed as female, collected in August 1913. Chapman probably considered this specimen sexed as a female to be a male, and he certainly had it in hand when soderstromi was described. The third male from Quito is a problem. There is a specimen from ‘‘Lloa,’’ Quito, cataloged as AMNH 173545 and identified in the catalog only as Catamenia (as were the other two specimens), but I was unable to find this specimen in the collection with any species of Catamenia . It is likely to be the third specimen that is a paratype of soderstromi because it was collected by Cherrie at the same time as the other two. However, AMNH 41405 from Quito, a specimen from the Lawrence Collection, was present in the collection when Chapman named soderstromi. It seems less likely that Chapman would have included this specimen as the locality may be suspect. The three specimens from Valle de Cumbaya (misspelled Cumbaza) had earlier been considered paratypes of griseiventris (see below). Of the above paratypes, AMNH 168095 and 124973 were exchanged to MCZ in 1928.

Söderstrom was Swedish, therefore the umlaut is dropped from the scientific name (ICZN, 1999: 40, Art. 32.5.2.1).
