Henicorhina leucophrys venezuelensis Hellmayr

Henicorhina leucophrys venezuelensis Hellmayr, 1903:

530 (mons Bucarito, Tucuyo).

Now Henicorhina leucophrys venezuelensis Hellmayr,

1903. See Meyer de Schauensee and Phelps, 1978:

293, and Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 187.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 501924 , unsexed, collected on ‘‘Mt. nr. Bucarito’ ’, Lara, Venezuela, in October–November 1893. From the Albert Mocquerys Collection (no. 153) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Mocquerys’ field number of the type was cited in the original description. On the original label, the collecting locality is given as above. I interpret this as meaning ‘‘a mountain near Bucarito’’, not ‘‘near Mt. Bucarito’’. Paynter (1982: 22) gave the coordinates of Bucarito as 10°20′N, 69°41′W.
