Lochmias obscurata Cabanis

Lochmias obscurata Cabanis, 1873a: 65 .

Now: Lochmias nematura obscuratus Cabanis, 1873 . See Cory & Hellmayr (1925: 258).

Type series: Cabanis (1873a: 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 1920s (cf. Sztolcman & Domaniewski 1927: 135) and none survived until today ( Mlíkovský 2009b).

Syntype (lost): MIZ unnumbered (N.7144), sex unknown (listed as Ƥ by Cabanis 1873a: 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].

Syntype (lost): MIZ unnumbered (N.7187), juv., collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= August to December 1870] at "Monterico" [= Monterrico, Peru].

Type locality: "Monterico" ( Cabanis 1873a: 66), i.e. Monterrico, Peru [12.05°S, 74.10°W].
