Camarhynchus bindloei Ridgway

Camarhynchus bindloei Ridgway, 1896a: 294 (Galapagos Archipelago (Bindloe Island)).

Now Camarhynchus psittacula habeli Sclater and Salvin, 1870 View in CoL . See Hellmayr, 1938: 138, and Dickinson, 2003: 796.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 518015 View Materials , adult male, collected on Marchena (5 Bindloe) Island, 00.21N, 90.29W ( Paynter, 1993), Galapagos Islands, Eduador, in September 1891. From the G. Baur Collection (no. 696) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: In the original description, Ridgway’s type was an adult male in Baur’s collection, with measurements given in tenths of inches. No further information was included, nor was the size of his type series indicated. Ridgway (1896b: 556) added that the type was collected on 5 September 1891. However, the specimen upon which Ridgway had tied the USNM type label and filled in with the name Chamarhynchus bindloei , does not actually have the day in September on which it was collected. There are six Baur specimens of bindloei in AMNH, the other five of which are dated 5 September 1891, and probably all six were collected on the same day. Ridgway wrote the Baur number ‘‘696’’ on the reverse of this label, but nowhere mentioned it in his publications. In addition to the unnumbered USNM type label, AMNH 518015 also has a Rothschild type label bearing the number ‘‘696’’ and a reference to the description of bindloei . A third label is that of the Rothschild Collection, identifying the specimen as Geospiza habeli , a Baur specimen collected on Bindloe Island in September 1891. Hartert (1919: 153) identified the type as the male specimen without a day of collection on the label, thus

agreeing with the specimen bearing the type labels and thereby designating it the lectotype.

Paralectotypes in AMNH, all labeled as having been collected by Baur on 5 September 1891 on Marchena Island , are: AMNH 518016 View Materials , male ; AMNH 518017 View Materials , male [immature plumage], Baur no. 699 ; AMNH 518018 View Materials , female ; AMNH 518019 View Materials , female ; AMNH 518020 View Materials , female, Baur no. 698, II 2 (significance unknown) .
