HOLOTYPE: AMNH 134377 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Cerro Paramillo (5 Paramillo), 12,500 ft, 07.04N, 75.55W ( Paynter, 1997), western Andes, Antioquia, Colombia, on 25 January 1915, by Leo E. Miller (no. 10914) and Howarth Boyle. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Moore cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed the additional specimens examined: one female from Paramillo ; four males, two females from Santa Isabel ; and one male, one female from Almaguer. The paratypes in AMNH are: Paramillo , AMNH 134379 About AMNH , female ; Santa Isabel, AMNH 113008–113011 About AMNH , 113014 About AMNH , three males, two females ; Almaguer , AMNH 117347 About AMNH , 117348 About AMNH , male, female .

AMNH 134378, also a female from Cerro Paramillo, is marked in the catalog as having been exchanged to O. Bangs at MCZ in September 1918. This specimen was given MCZ no. 124899, but was later returned to AMNH and then exchanged to BIM in July 1923 and given BIM no. 12919. It was returned to AMNH in November 1935, when the BIM bird collection was given to AMNH, and renumbered as AMNH 441193. Thus it was not in AMNH when Moore described this form and is not a paratype of zimmeri. The female from Cerro Paramillo, AMNH 134379, is not in the AMNH collection, and it may have been exchanged without the catalog having been marked. It is not present in the MCZ collection (J. Trimble, personal commun.).

The fourth male from Santa Isabel listed by Moore was not cataloged or found; two additional specimens in this series from Santa Isabel had been exchanged, but in 1918, long before the description of this subspecies.
