HOLOTYPE: AMNH 138354 About AMNH , adult male, collected at Vinto , 8000 ft, 17.26S, 66.19W ( Paynter, 1992), Cochabamba, Bolivia, on 6 July 1915, by Leo E. Miller (no. 12937) and Howarth Boyle. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Zimmer gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed the specimens he examined. Paratypes are: Vinto, AMNH 138352 About AMNH , 138353 About AMNH , 138355 About AMNH , 138356 About AMNH , three males, one immature male ; Parotani , AMNH 138349–138351 About AMNH , 148913 About AMNH , two males, two females ; Tujma , AMNH 139809 About AMNH , male ; Tarata , AMNH 139810 About AMNH , 139811 About AMNH , male, female ; Arque , AMNH 148912 About AMNH ; Valle Grande , AMNH 509288 About AMNH , male ; Olgin , AMNH 509289 About AMNH , male ; Pulque , AMNH 139807 About AMNH , 139808 About AMNH , males ; Chilon , AMNH

139796–139803, seven males, one female; Rio Pilcomayo , AMNH 139804 About AMNH , male ; Rio Grande, AMNH 139812 About AMNH , male ; Rio Cachimayo, AMNH 139805 About AMNH , 139806 About AMNH , male, female. In his list of examined specimens, Zimmer listed two males from Rio Pilcomayo , but there is only one cataloged. The specimen from Rio Grande is from within the given range of composita and in the same series of specimens collected by Miller and Boyle ; it is also labeled composita by Zimmer. I think the discrepancy in number of specimens examined from Rio Pilcomayo resulted from a misreading of the locality on the Rio Grande specimen and I have considered it a paratype. Two of the paratypes had been given to the BIM and renumbered when their bird collection was donated to AMNH in 1935: AMNH 139800 About AMNH ( BIM no. 12942, later AMNH no. 441236) ; AMNH 139804 About AMNH (12941, 441232) .
