Pygochelidon patagonica peruviana Chapman

Pygochelidon patagonica peruviana Chapman, 1922: 7 (Huaral, Prov. Lima, Peru).

Now Notiochelidon cyanoleuca peruviana ( Chapman, 1922) . See Peters, 1960b: 89, and Turner and Rose, 1989: 116–118.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 152289 , adult female, collected in Huaral , 11°30′S, 77°12′W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983: 91), Lima, Peru, on 26 December 1918, by Harry Watkins.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Chapman (1922: 7) gave the AMNH number of the holotype and said that there were 44 specimens of the taxon in AMNH as well as additional specimens in BMNH. When he listed the specimens examined, Chapman (1922: 11) indicated 45, though there were actually 46 specimens from the localities listed cataloged in AMNH. The 45 paratypes are AMNH 152275–152288 and 152290– 152312, all collected by Harry Watkins at Vitarte, Huacho, Bequeta, Huaral and Trujillo, Peru, in 1918 and 1919; AMNH 170563–170566, collect­ ed by Harry Watkins at Moquega, Cocachacra, Vitor, and Pisco, Peru, in 1920; and AMNH 166024–166027, collected by Rollo H. Beck, at Lima and Chorillos, Peru, on the Brewster–Sanford Expedition in 1913. I did not find AMNH 152305 in the collection.
