COMMENTS: Hartert designated as type his only Ürmös specimen collected on 8 May 1908. It bears a Rothschild type label. Vaurie (1959: 548) noted that the type locality of persimilis was in southern Turkey; it is probably the Ereğli shown in the Times Atlas at 37.30N, 34.02E. Hartert listed five other specimens that he considered part of his type series. There are two paratypes at AMNH: AMNH 683263, sex given as female by Hartert (but the sex symbol on the label is an ambiguous upsidedown male symbol), Ereğli, 11 May 1908, P. Ürmös; and AMNH 683264, male, Lenkoran, 2 February 1882, originally from the H.H. Slater collection.
