The way I understood the presentation, you also need to deposit all material in
an Ecuadoran museum.  You may then borrow some of the duplicates for your
research, but they are supposed to be returned.  Types or unique specimens
cannot, apparently, leave the country (I assume that's for fear they won't
return).
