 173708. Adult male. Papallacta, Province of Pichincha, Ecuador. Feb- 

 ruary 1899. Collected by Walter Goodfellow and Claud Hamilton. 

 This name was based upon a series of 15 specimens (12 males, three 

 females) , from the same locality and of the same date. 



No. 173708 is merely a lectotype, chosen by Oberholser (Proc. U.S. Nat. 

 Mus. 24: 325, 1902) because it is "the one which corresponds to the meas- 

 urements given." But since the measurements given are presumably average 

 ones for the series, all, by the rules adopted in this study, have equal status 

 as cotypes. 



The series run from No, 173706 to No. 173720, inclusive, of which Nos. 

 173709, 173716, and 173720 are females. Making necessary allowance for 

 sex, all have data identical with those given above for No, 173708.
