Diglossa gloriosissima Chapman

Diglossa gloriosissima Chapman, 1912: 165 (Andes, west of Popayan, alt. 10,340 ft.).

Now Diglossa gloriosissima gloriosissima Chapman, 1912 . See Hellmayr, 1935: 236, Vuilleumier, 1969, Graves, 1990: 962–965, Isler and Isler, 1999: 356–358, and Dickinson, 2003: 816.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 110078 , adult male, collected in the coast range, west of Popayán , 10,340 ft, 02.27N, 76.36W ( Paynter, 1997), Cauca, Colombia, on 18 July 1911, by William B. Richardson.

COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. He had ten specimens, five adult males, one adult female, and four young, all from the type locality and collected by Richardson and Leo Miller in July 1911. I have been able to find only eight specimens cataloged at AMNH from the type series, several of which were later exchanged with other collections. The seven paratypes are: AMNH 110079 , male ; AMNH 110080 , female ; AMNH 110081 , male ; AMNH 110082 , male ; AMNH 110083 , female juvenile ; AMNH 110117 , juvenile ; AMNH 110118 , male juvenile. Of these, AMNH

110079 and 110118 were exchanged with O. Bangs whose collection is now in MCZ; AMNH 110081 was exchanged with USNM; and AMNH 110082 was exchanged with BMNH.
