[ Fringilla leucopogon Wied ]

Neither Allen (1889b: 223) nor I found a type of F. leucopogon Wied (1830: 572) in AMNH. Allen (1889b: 223) found both male and female listed in Wied’s manuscript catalog, but in the original description, Wied (1830: 574) said that he had seen only the male and that he had come across it first in the region of Rio de Janiero, where he collected it on the Guajintibo River. Hellmayr (1938: 201) considered the name a synonym of Sporophila c. caerulescens (Vieillot, 1817) .
