The paratypes are the following: Peru, Huaral , AMNH 152608–152642 , 12 males, 11 immature males, 12 females ; Huacho , AMNH 152643–152653 , six adult males, three immature males, two females ; Sayan , AMNH 152654 , 152655 , two immature males ; Vitarte , AMNH 152656–152670 , nine males, two immature males, four females ; Trujillo , AMNH 152671–152676 , 152678–152681 , five adult males, two immature males, three immature females ; Poroto , AMNH 152682 , one adult male ; Viru , AMNH 152683– 152688 , four adult males, two females ; Paletillas , AMNH 152689 , one female ; Lima, AMNH 166117–166121 , 166136 , five adult males, one immature male ; Moquegua, AMNH 170633–170635 , one adult male, two females ; Cocachacra , AMNH 170636 , one female ; Vitor , AMNH 170637–170639 , one immature male, two females ; Perico, Rio Chinchipe, AMNH 182217 , 182218 , two males.

Spermophila schistacea Lawrence

Spermophila schistacea Lawrence, 1862: 474 ( New Granada).

Now Sporophila schistacea schistacea ( Lawrence, 1862) . See Hellmayr, 1938: 174–175, Wetmore et al., 1984: 563–564; and Dickinson, 2003: 791– 792.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 41269 , adult male, collected near Lion Hill, ca. 09.13N, 79.54W ( Siegel and Olson, 2008), Panama (5 New Granada), in 1862, by James McLeannan. From the George N. Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTS: Apparently, Lawrence had the single specimen. He ( Lawrence, 1862: 474 ) first proposed the name for no. 341 of his list, a specimen that he questionably identified with Spermophila cinerea Lafresnaye but listed the differences between no. 341 and that species. Lawrence (1863: 10) referred to his earlier description, and having satisfied himself that it was distinct, accepted the name.

Lion Hill ( Wetmore et al., 1984: 563–564) is the usually accepted type locality, as McLeannan was the station master at the Lion Hill station of the Panama railway that ran across the Isthmus. Most of his collecting was done on the Atlantic side.
