FIGURE 2. The holotype of Scytalopus speluncae showing Ménétriés' original label (the specimen's oldest) at the bottom right; note the obvious similarity in the handwriting between this label and the diary fragment shown in Fig. 1. Furthermore note the obvious fact that all of the feathering on the underparts, from the lower breast down, is basal feathering, and that the contour feathering has been entirely lost, quite contrary to the claim by Maurício et al. (2010) that the specimen is undamaged.
