Psittacaria rectirostris Meyen, 1834a: 95 , pl. 15.

Now: Enicognathus leptorhynchus (King, 1831) . See Salvadori (1891: 209); Meyen’s rectirostris was not listed by Cory (1918).

Holotype (lost): ZMB 10107 ( Lichtenstein 1832, Nr. 3 sub “ Psittacus ”), collected by Meyen in “ Februar ” [= Feb 1831; see below] in “ Chile ” [= central Chile ; see below].

Type locality. Meyen (1834a) did not specify the type locality, but mentioned that the holotype was shot in February. M.H.C. Lichtenstein (1832) listed Chile as the country of the specimen’s origin. The Prinzess Louise was anchored at Valparaíso from 22 January to 15 March 1831 ( Meyen 1834b; Berghaus 1842). During February, Meyen (1834b) visited modern-day Chilean regions of Valparaíso, O’Higgins and Metropolitan. He thus probably collected the holotype in one of these regions. Details being unknown, the type locality includes all the three regions.

Remarks. One dataless historical specimen of Enicognathus leptorhynchus was found in the ZMB collection in 2011 (ZMB 2000.11400). However, as three historical specimens of this species are missing from ZMB, the surviving specimen cannot be identified with any one of them with certainty.
