Psaltriparus lloydi
Sennett
Psaltriparus lloydi
Sennett, 1888: 43
(Limpia Cañon, near Fort Davis, Presidio County).
Now considered a hybrid population between
P. minimus plumbeus
and the
melanotis
group of populations.

SYNTYPES
:
AMNH 86426
, adult male, and
AMNH 86427
, sexed as male on original label but changed to female by Sennett and published as female
;
both collected at
Limpia Canyon
, near
Fort Davis
,
30.35N
,
103.54W
(Times Atlas),
Presidio County
,
Texas
,
USA
, on
16 June 1887
by
William Lloyd
(nos. 120 and 121, respectively) for
G.B. Sennett
(nos. 4895 and 4896, respectively)
.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Sennett listed
eight specimens
of
lloydi
, giving his collection numbers for each and designating 4895 and 4896 as
syntypes
. In a note on the reverse of the type label, J.T. M[arshall] called attention to the original sexing of AMNH 86427 and considered it a juvenile male. Because Sennett designated the above
two specimens
as
syntypes
, the other
six specimens
in his original series, his numbers 4897, 4898, 4903, 4904, 4912, and 4913, are excluded from the type series (ICZN, 1999: 77, Art. 72.4.6).
Following
Raitt’s (1967)
study, most authors have agreed that
P. melanotis
and
P. minimus
are conspecific; but no two authors seem to agree on the validity of
lloydi
.
Harrap (2008a: 99)
considered
lloydi
a hybrid population between
plumbeus
and the
melanotis
groups of populations.
