COMMENTS: Hartert cited Gomez’s number of the holotype in the original description. He gave wing measurements for multiple males, giving no total number, and said that amantum occurred on Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and Gran Canaria islands. The followiing specimens in AMNH, collected before the publication of amantum in May 1903, are considered paratypes: AMNH 712387, 712388, 712390, 712391, 712398, two males and three females, collected at Oliva, Fuerteventura Island, 4 – 18 March 1889, by Gomez; AMNH 712402, male, collected on Lanzarote Island, on 24 March 1902 by Polatzek.
