Euscarthmus pyrrhops Cabanis

Euscarthmus pyrrhops Cabanis, 1874: 98 .

Now: Hemitriccus granadensis pyrrhops ( Cabanis, 1874) . See Cory & Hellmayr (1927: 318).

Type series: Cabanis (1874: 98) did not specify how many specimens he had at his disposal, but described only a bird in male plumage. The Accession Catalogue of the ZMB includes only a single relevant specimen, which thus represents the holotype of this species. The specimen is deposited in the ZMB.

Holotype: ZMB 21612 (B- 10241), unsexed, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= May to September 1871] in "central Peru " [= Maraynioc, Peru]. Received in spirit (cf. Cabanis 1874: 97).

Type locality: Cabanis (1874) knew only that the holotype of this species originated from "central Peru ", but Taczanowski (1875: 535) wrote that the (holotypical) male was collected at "Maraynioc". We thus restrict the type locality of this species from "central Peru " to Maraynioc, Peru [11.37 °S, 75.40 °W].

Remarks: Taczanowski (1889: 16) and Sztolcman & Domaniewski (1927: 141) claimed that types of this species are deposited in the MIZ, listing a female collected by Jelski in 1873 at "Tambopata", and a female collected by J. Kalinowski in 1892 (!) at "Maraynioc", respectively, as the types. Neither of these specimens has a type status, because the former was unknown to Cabanis and the latter was collected 18 years after the species was described (see Mlíkovský 2009 b for details).
