Description

Dacnis berlepschi Hartert

Dacnis berlepschi Hartert, 1900: 37 (Lita, Northwestern Ecuador).

Now Dacnis berlepschi Hartert, 1900. See Rothschild and Hartert, 1900: 44, Hellmayr, 1935: 282–283, Isler and Isler, 1999: 337, and Dickinson, 2003: 813.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 508739, ‘‘male’’ [female], collected at Lita, 3000 ft, 00.52N, 78.28W (Paynter, 1993), Imbabura, Ecuador, on 13 October 1899, by G. Flemming (no. 339). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert had the single specimen, sexed by the collector as a male, but noted by Hartert as perhaps not fully adult. Subsequently, additional material was received, including an adult male (Rothschild and Hartert: 1900: 44–45), showing that the originally described specimen was missexed. Only the single specimen was present when the original description was published. Later, Hartert (1901: 371, pl. V) gave a description of the adult male, noted that the immature male was like the female but larger, and provided a plate picturing both male and female.
