Euscarthmus rufigularis Cabanis

Euscarthmus rufigularis Cabanis, 1873a: 67 .

Now: Hemitriccus rufigularis (Cabanis, 1873) . See Cory & Hellmayr (1927: 317).

Type series: Cabanis (1873a: 67) based this species on an unspecified number of specimens, but mentioned that he had both a male and a female at his disposal. Taczanowski (1875: 534) specified that Jelski sent only a single specimen of each sex. These two specimens are thus syntypes of this species. Both were deposited in the MIZ (see Taczanowski 1889: 16, Cory & Hellmayr 1927: 317), but both were probably destroyed in the 1920s (cf. Sztolcman & Domaniewski 1927: 140; see also Mlíkovský 2009b). Carriker (1931: 122) erred when he believed that the types were still deposited in the MIZ in his time.

Syntype (lost): MIZ unnumbered (P.7124), 3, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= August to December 1870] at "Monterico" [= Monterrico, Peru].

Syntype (lost): MIZ unnumbered (P.7124), Ƥ, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= August to December 1870] at "Monterico" [= Monterrico, Peru].

Type locality: "Monterico" (Cabanis 1873a: 67), i.e. Monterrico, Peru [12.05°S, 74.10°W].

Remarks: Carriker (1931: 122) erroneously wrote that the species was described by Cabanis in 1878, which was probably a misprint for 1873.
