COMMENTS: Todd gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and typed (!) and initialed (WECT) his new name on the back of the AMNH label of the specimens he included as part of his type series. Of the 50 paratypes Todd (1926: 52) listed, the following were in AMNH: Ecuador, Calasnique, AMNH 41838, male, 30 September 1874 ; Alamor, AMNH 152925, 152926, male, female, 10, 13 July 1919, AMNH 172407, 172408, males, 23, 30 August 1921 ; Portovelo, AMNH 168122, female, 3 September 1923 ; Zamora, AMNH 168125– 168127, two males, one female, 1–4 December 1920 ; Punta Santa Ana, AMNH 168128, male, 19 December 1920 ; El Paso, AMNH 168129–168138, seven males, three females, 9–14 January 1921 ; Bucay, AMNH 172410, male, 1 December 1921 ; Pallatanga, AMNH 173554, male, 29 July 1922. Peru, Milagros, AMNH 152923, 152924, male, female, 3–5 July 1919 ; Huancabamba, AMNH 175632– 175638, four males, three females, 20 No-vember–11 December 1922 ; Palamba, AMNH 175639–175642, two males, two

females, 20 September–28 October 1922. Of these, AMNH 168130 and 168136 were exchanged to ANSP and AMNH 168133, 168134, and 168138 were exchanged to MCZ in July 1928. I did not find AMNH 175633 in the collection and it was perhaps exchanged without the catalog having been marked.
