Haemophila personata Salvin

Haemophila personata Salvin, 1895: 8 (near Cajamarca).

Now Incaspiza personata ( Salvin, 1895) . See Hellmayr, 1938: 538, Ridgely and Tudor, 1989: 451, and Dickinson, 2003: 789.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 100260 , female, 12 May ; AMNH 518878 , male, 14 May ; AMNH 518879 , male, 14 May ; AMNH 518880 , female, 15 May ; AMNH 518881 , female, 14 May ; AMNH 518882 , female, 12 May, all collected near Cajamarca, 10,000 ft, 07.10S, 78.31W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983), Cajamarca, Peru, in 1894, by O.T. Baron. From the Rothschild Collection .

COMMENTS: Salvin did not designate a type in the original description, but noted that his report on Baron’s 1894 collection was based on specimens in both his own collection and in Rothschild’s ( Salvin, 1895: 1). AMNH 518879 was marked ‘‘Co-type’’ by Salvin. Additional syntypes are in BMNH ( Warren and Harrison, 1971: 430). AMNH 100260 was exchanged to AMNH by Rothschild in 1907; AMNH 518881 was exchanged to Javier Ortiz de la Puente, MHNJP, in February 1952 and may have been in return for the type of Incaspiza ortizi (see below). These specimens had not previously been recognized as types.
