Aquila pezopora

Quick answer

Type locality. Meyen (1834 a: 64) wrote: “ Lebt in grosser Anzahl auf den Feldern der Ebene vom Mapocho, besonders in der Nähe von Santiago. ” (“ Lives in great numbers on the fields of the Mapocho plain, especially near Santiago. ”) Lichtenstein (1832) stated that Meyen’s syntypes were collected in March, but Meyen (1834 b: 365) left Santiago on 24 February and spent the remaining days before his ship’s departure in Valparaíso; hence he could not have collected any birds at Santiago in March. The only period during which Meyen explored the vicinity of Santiago was 20 – 23 February, when he went to Colina (Meyen 1834 b: 360 – 365). During this trip he observed and collected Milvago chimango (see Meyen 1834 b: 361). Poeppig collected one syntypical specimen at an unknown locality in Chile. The type locality of Aquila pezopora is thus Chile (including Colina, Metropolitan Region, 33.20 ° S, 70.68 ° W).
