Sclerurus olivascens
Quick answer
Type series: Cabanis (1873 a: 67) based this species on one or more females. Taczanowski (1875: 526) specified that this female was a unique specimen known for the species. It is thus its holotype. The specimen was deposited in the MIZ (Taczanowski 1889: 21), but was destroyed in the 1920 s (cf. Sztolcman & Domaniewski; see Mlíkovský 2009 b for details). Holotype (lost): MIZ unnumbered (N. 7178), Ƥ, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= August to December 1870] at " Monterico " [= Monterrico, Peru]. Type locality: " Monterico " (Cabanis 1873 a: 67), i. e. Monterrico, Peru [12.05 ° S, 74.10 ° W].
