Tangara ruficervix inca Parkes

Tangara ruficervix inca Parkes, 1969: 19 (Utcuyacu, Dept. Junin, Peru (alt. 4,800 feet )).

Now Tangara ruficervix inca Parkes, 1969 . See Storer, 1970: 378, Isler and Isler, 1999: 310–311, and Dickinson, 2003: 812.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 169467 , adult male, collected at Utcuyacu , 4800 ft, ca. 11.12S, 75.28W ( Vaurie, 1972), Junín, Peru, on 12 December 1919, by Harry Watkins.

COMMENTS: Parkes cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. Parkes found that T. r. fulvicervix described from northern Bolivia and applied to both northern Bolivian and southern Peruvian specimens did not apply to those from southern Peru, leaving them without a name. He introduced the name inca for these birds and referred to Zimmer (1943d: 1) for a list of the localities in southern Peru from which fulvicervix (5 inca) had been recorded: Paltaypampa, Ropaybamba, Garita del Sol, San Miguel Bridge, Ocobamba [Occobamba], Santa Ana, and Marcapata. All of these are in the provinces of Junin and Cuzco. Zimmer (1943d: 3) examined specimens from the following localities in Junin and Cuzco and the specimens are in AMNH. I consider them paratypes of inca: Chanchamayo, AMNH 513547–513549, two males, one female; Utcuyacu, AMNH 169466, male; Idma, AMNH 145714–145728, 145731, 145734– 145738, 513550, 513551, 17 males, six females; Cosnipata, AMNH 513455, male. All of these specimens were in AMNH when Zimmer examined them. AMNH 145729, 145730, 145732, and 145733 were exchanged to USNM in 1921, were not available to Zimmer in 1943, and would not have been part of Parkes’ type series of inca.
