Chroicocephalus maculipennis View in CoL

One specimen collected at Barra Grande on 22 September 1883 (NHMUK 1894.10.28.26; Fig. 4 View Figure 4 ) is possibly the only record of this gull in northeastern Brazil ( Saunders, 1896; Hellmayr & Conover,1948b; Pinto, 1978; Sick, 1997). Another specimen collected at Pontal do Peba, identified as being of this species, was retrieved on GBIF (MNRJ 36035), but it was not possible to check it and confirm its identification.
