Icterus sclateri maximus Griscom

Icterus sclateri maximus Griscom, 1930: 15 (Sacapulas, Rio Negro Valley, interior of Guatemala).

Now Icterus pustulatus maximus Griscom, 1930 View in CoL . See Griscom, 1932: 397; Hellmayr, 1937: 155–156; Blake, 1968: 157; Howell and Webb, 1995: 748– 749; Dickinson, 2003: 771; and Fraga, 2011: 763.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 398772 View Materials , adult male, collected at Sacapulas , Río Negro Valley, interior of Guatemala, on 12 February 1928, by A.W. Anthony (no. 6563). From the Jonathan Dwight Collection. View Materials

COMMENTS: Griscom cited Anthony’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description (the specimen had no Dwight number), and (on p. 17) noted that he had 17 specimens. Griscom (1932: 397) gave these as 14 males and three females; the 11 paratypes, all from Sacapulas, in AMNH are: AMNH 398769–398771 View Materials , 398773–398780 View Materials , eight males, three females, 4 February–24 March 1928, by A.W. Anthony. Part of the collection was sent to MCZ before cataloging, therefore, the additional paratypes may be in that institution .

Hellmayr (1937: 156) considered maximus a synonym of alticola, and was followed by Blake (1968: 157). Howell and Webb (1995: 748) recognized maximus, as did Dickinson (2003: 771) and Fraga (2011: 763).

Griscom (1932: 421, map) noted that Sacapulas was 25 mi north of Quiche´, at ca. 15.15N, 91.10W.
