Lochmias obscurata
Quick answer
Type series: Cabanis (1873 a: 66) based this species on an unspecified number of specimens, including at least a female and a juvenile bird, but no male. Taczanowski (1875: 526) confirmed that the material consisted of an adult and a juvenile bird. These two specimens thus form the type series of this species. Both were deposited in the MIZ (Taczanowski 1889: 21), but at least one was destroyed in the 1920 s (cf. Sztolcman & Domaniewski 1927: 135) and none survived until today (Mlíkovský 2009 b). Syntype (lost): MIZ unnumbered (N. 7144), sex unknown (listed as Ƥ by Cabanis 1873 a: 66, as unsexed bird by Taczanowski 1875: 526, and as 3 by Taczanowski 1889: 21), collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= August to December 1870] at " Monterico " [= Monterrico, Peru].
