Mimus nigriloris Lawrence

Mimus nigriloris Lawrence , 187lb: 137 ( Mexico).

Now Mimus longicaudatus longicaudatus Tschudi ,

1844. See Hellmayr, 1934: 325, and Brewer and

MacKay, 2001: 217.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 39276 , unsexed, from ‘‘ Mexico’ ’, undoubtedly an erroneous locality. From the George N. Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTS: Lawrence (1871b: 137) was already aware that the locality was questionable when he described the single specimen that he had received ‘‘from Dr. C. H. Van Patten, of Costa Rica, who got it in exchange from Mr. Gruber, of San Francisco, by whom it was labelled as coming from Mexico.’’

Mimus arenaceus Chapman

Mimus arenaceus Chapman in Riker and Chapman,

1890: 135 (Bahia, Brazil).

Now Mimus saturninus arenaceus Chapman, 1890 . See

Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 218.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 39274 , unsexed, collected in Bahia, Brazil, by Dr. Lacerda. From the George N. Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the type was given in the original description ; it is apparently the only specimen from Bahia that Chapman had.
