Basileuterus diachlorus

Quick answer

Type series: Cabanis (1873 c: 316) based this species on one or more males collected at " Amable Maria " and deposited in the ZMB. The Accession Catalogue of the ZMB listed two relevant specimens, which are thus the syntypes of this species. We did not find these syntypes in 2008. Syntype (lost): ZMB 21337 (B- 9966), 3, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= October 1871 to February 1872] at " Amable Maria " [= Amable María, Peru].
