COMMENTS: The ZMB received only a single specimen of this taxon. Friedrich Wilhelm Schulz (d. 1933) had been trained as zoologist at the ZMB before immigrating to Córdoba in Argentina around 1866. Soon afterwards he became a taxidermist for, and later administrator of, the zoological museum of the University of Córdoba ( Gebhardt 1964: 327–328), from which he explored the provinces of Córdoba and Tucumán.
