Turdus colombianus Hartert and Hellmayr

Turdus colombianus Hartert and Hellmayr, 1901: 492 (Cali, Western Colombia, Cauca Valley).

Now Turdus obsoletus colombianus Hartert and Hellmayr, 1901 . See Clement, 2000: 424–425.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 503295 , adult male, collected at Cali , 038279N, 768319W ( Paynter, 1997: 58, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, on 18 September 1894 (not 1897), by William F.H. Rosenberg (no. 1). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: This is the only specimen of colombianus that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection and it bears a Rothschild type label. Hartert (1920: 475), in his list of Rothschild types, added Rosenberg’s ‘‘no. 1’’ and corrected the year of collection to 1894 without comment. Hartert and Hellmayr (1901: 493) provisionally assigned a specimen collected by Stolzmann at Chimbo, N. Ecuador, to T. colombianus .

Ripley (1964: 219) considered colombianus to be a subspecies of T. hauxwelli . Ridgely and Tudor (1989: 125) and Clement (2000: 424–425) placed it as a subspecies of T. obsoletus .
