Treatment

Basileuterus diachlorus Cabanis, 1873c: 316 .

Now: Basileuterus chrysogaster chrysogaster (Tschudi, 1844) View in CoL . See Hellmayr (1935: 489).

Type series: Cabanis (1873c: 316) based this species on one or more males collected at "Amable Maria" and deposited in the ZMB. The Accession Catalogue of the ZMB listed two relevant specimens, which are thus the syntypes of this species. We did not find these syntypes in 2008.

Syntype (lost): ZMB 21337 (B-9966), 3, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= October 1871 to February 1872] at "Amable Maria" [= Amable María, Peru].

Syntype (lost): ZMB 21338 (B-10223), 3, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= October 1871 to February 1872] at "Amable Maria" [= Amable María, Peru].

Type locality: "Amable Maria" ( Cabanis 1873c: 316), i.e. Amable María, Peru [11.17°S, 75.35°W].

Remarks: Taczanowski (1889) correctly did not include Basileuterus diachlorus in his list of birds whose type specimens are deposited in the MIZ. Despite Sztolcman's & Domaniewski's (1927: 166) claim to the contrary, the MIZ never possessed type specimens of this species (see Mlíkovský 2009b for details).
