Automolus celicae Chapman

Automolus celicae Chapman, 1921c: 10 (Celica, Prov. Loja, Ecuador, alt. 4550 ft.).

Now Syndactyla ruficollis celicae (Chapman, 1921) . See Parker et al., 1985: 177–178, Fjeldså and Krabbe, 1990: 391, and Ridgely and Tudor, 1994: 151.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 167341 , adult male, collected below Celica , 04°07′S, 79°59′W, 4550 ft, Loja, Ecuador, on 25 September 1920, by George K. Cherrie (no. 22115).

COMMENTS: Until recently, this species has been included in Automolus . Ridgely and Tudor, 1994: 151, indicated that it is better placed in Syndactyla .

Hylocryptus erythrocephalus Chapman Hylocryptus erythrocephalus Chapman, 1919a: 259 (Alamor, 4300 ft., Peruvian– Ecuador boundary).

Now Hylocryptus erythrocephalus erythrocephalus Chapman, 1919 . See Peters, 1951: 140.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 163086 , adult female, collect- ed at Alamor , 04°02′S, 80°02′W, 4350 ft, Loja, Ecuador, on 14 July 1919, by Harry Watkins.

COMMENTS: There has been considerable confusion in the literature as to whether Alamor is in Ecuador or Peru. Unfortunately, Watkins’ labels from this collection are printed “Alamor, Peru, Prov. Tumbes.” However, Chapman (1926a: 15) made it quite clear that Alamor is in Ecuador: “Harry Watkins... traveled from Payta [= Paita, Tumbes, Peru] to Alamor in extreme southwestern Ecuador...,” and (1926a: 78) gave the dates of 9–15 July for this locality.

This species is the type species of the genus, described by Chapman (1919a: 258). Vaurie (1971a: 40, 1980: 292, 297) suggested merging Hylocryptus into Automolus and tentatively accepted two subspecies in this species. Paynter (1972: 154–155) followed this suggestion. However, Hylocryptus was retained by Ridgely and Tudor (1994: 169).

Hylocryptus erythrocephalus palamblae Zimmer

Hylocryptus erythrocephalus palamblae Zimmer, 1935b: 6 (Palambla, Dept. Piura, Perú).

Now Hylocryptus erythrocephalus palamblae Zimmer, 1935 . See Peters, 1951: 140, Vaurie, 1971a: 40, Vaurie, 1980: 292, Paynter, 1972: 154–155, and Ridgely and Tudor, 1994: 170.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 175314 , adult male, collected at Palambla , 05°23′S, 79°37′W, 3900–6500 ft, Piura, Peru, on 19 September 1922, by Harry Watkins (no. 6083).

COMMENTS: Vaurie (1971a: 40) included this species in Automolus ; Paynter (1972: 154–155) followed his suggestion. Ridgely and Tudor (1994: 169) retained Hylocryptus .

Opetiorhynchus rectirostris Wied

Opetiorhynchus rectirostris Wied, 1831: 679 (Campos Geraës) .

Now Hylocryptus rectirostris (Wied, 1831) . See Ridgely and Tudor, 1994: 170, and Sick, 1997: 578.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 5223 , female, collected at

Serra Geral, 15°25′S, 42°48′W, Minas Gerais / Bahia, Brazil, by Maximilian, Prince of Wied. From the Maximilian Collection.

COMMENTS: Vaurie (1971a: 40) included this species in Automolus .

Anabates ferruginolentus Wied

Anabates ferruginolentus Wied, 1831: 1166 (Sertong der

Provinz Bahia).

Now Cichlocolaptes leucophrus (Jardine and Selby,

1830). See Cory and Hellmayr, 1925: 227, Ridgely and

Tudor, 1994: 151, and Sick, 1997: 578.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 6809, female, and AMNH 5214, male, collected in the interior of Bahia by Maximilian, Prince of Wied. From the Maximilian Collection.

COMMENTS: AMNH 6809 (wing 100.0 mm) is identified by Allen (1889b: 246) and on the original Maximilian label as a female. It is identified as a male on the AMNH type label. AMNH 5214 (wing 102.0 mm) is identified by Allen (1889b: 246) as a male and on the type label as a female. Both of the wing measurements are within the zone of overlap for males and females given by Vaurie (1980: 275).

Vaurie (1971a: 37) retained Cichlocolaptes as a subgenus of Philydor , but in his monograph (Vaurie, 1980: 265) merged it with Philydor .

The original spelling of the current name was Anabates leucophrus Jardine and Selby (1830: pl. 93), although it has sometimes been spelled leucophrys . Pinto (1941: 167) described C. l. holti as a subspecies in the otherwise monotypic species. Vaurie (1980: 265) did not recognize holti, but Ridgely and Tudor (1994: 152) believed that it might prove to be a distinct species.

Thripadectes holostictus moderatus Zimmer Thripadectes holostictus moderatus Zimmer, 1935b: 7

(Nequejahuira, Río Unduavi, Bolivia, altitude 8000

feet).

Now Thripadectes holostictus moderatus Zimmer, 1935 .

See Fjeldså and Krabbe, 1990: 393.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 229225 , adult male, collected at Nequejahuira , 8000 ft, in Yungas region , NE of city of La Paz, ca. 16°20′S, 67°50′W, La Paz, Bolivia, on 21 May 1926, by George H. H. Tate.

COMMENTS: The no. 23 on Tate’s field label refers to the collecting locality, described by him as “A tiny pampa by side of the steel rail bridge where the Yungas road crosses the Unduavi river between Unduavi and Chaco ” (Archives, Department of Ornithology, AMNH).
