Buarremon flavovirens Lawrence

Buarremon flavovirens Lawrence, 1867b: 467 ( Ecuador) .

Now Chlorospingus flavovirens (Lawrence, 1867) . See Chapman, 1926: 685, Hellmayr, 1936: 435– 436, Storer, 1970: 261, Isler and Isler, 1999: 69– 70, and Dickinson, 2003: 818.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 41065 , unsexed, collected in Ecuador, undated, from ‘‘C. R.G. ’’ From the George N. Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTS: Lawrence apparently had only one specimen, the label of which is marked ‘‘Type’’ by Lawrence . It has no original label. Sclater (1885: 274–275) said of this specimen: ‘‘Mr. Lawrence kindly lent me his unique specimen. The skin is apparently of the ordinary ‘Quito’ make.’’ Isler and Isler (1999: 69), commenting on this species, said that it was ‘‘originally known from 2 specimens collected in Pichincha,’’ apparently failing to consider the type specimen.
