content: 35 specimens removed from 88712 (holotype of nectarges nocturnus) and recat. as 119019, paratypes. the orig. description lists only 26 paratypes in this lot. b. chernoff (1983) determined that these 10 specimens were not included by myers and wade (1942) in the type series. chernoff examined these 10 specs. and identified them as membras gilberti, and says these specimens are not paratypes of nectarges nocturnus. this seems reasonable because of the original 36 specimens in 88712, 2 went to stanford, 1 went to hancock foundation, 1 retained the number as holotype, 22 remain as paratypes in 119019, and 10 are recataloged here.
