Hello!
Hi to all,
I have a few more questions on the Polymita descriptions.
Polymita brocheri ("Gutierrez" Pfeiffer 1864) : this is as cited by C.
de la Torre in his
monograph.
1) What do the " " enclosing Gutierrez mean, that he, Gutierrez,
described it in Pfeiffer's work,
or that Pfeiffer referenced a description by Gutierrez (from a letter I
think)?
2) Arango amended the name to brocheroi in 1878: this is as cited by
Tucker Abbott,
I assume C. de la Torre did not know this. Is this correct? The correct
name is now
brocheroi and should be cited as brocheroi? (Note: The species was
named for General Brochero)
Your kind attention and help is much appreciated.
Later,
Emilio Jorge Power
