Microcichla scouleri fortis Hartert

Microcichla scouleri fortis Hartert, 1910a: 761 (Tapposha, Formosa).

Now Enicurus scouleri Vigors, 1832 . See Cheng, 1987: 606.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 577879 , adult male, collected at Tapposha , Taiwan, Republic of China, on 19 January 1907, by collectors for Alan Owston. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated as type a specimen with the above data, adding the number ‘‘F.92’’. Because all of the Owston specimens of this taxon bear this number and there are two Tapposha males collected on 19 January 1907, these two specimens must be considered syntypes. Hartert (1920: 474) did not unambiguously designate the lectotype. Because AMNH 577879 bears the Rothschild type label, indicating Hartert’s intention to designate this specimen the type, and has always been separated as the type, I hereby designate it the lectotype in order to avoid the possibility of confusion in interpreting the older literature. The single paralectotype is AMNH 577880.

Ripley (1964: 86) recognized the subspecies fortis. Sibley and Monroe (1990: 539) treated Enicurus in the tribe Saxicolini , subfamily Muscicapinae ; Dickinson (2003: 682) placed it in the subfamily Saxicolinae , family Muscicapidae .

Enicurus leschenaulti indicus Hartert Enicurus leschenaulti indicus Hartert, 1910a: 760

(Margherita in Ober­Assam).

Now Enicurus leschenaulti indicus Hartert, 1910 .

See Ali and Ripley, 1998: 12.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 577694 , adult male, collected at Margherita , 278179N, 958409E (Times Atlas), Assam, India, on 19 January 1902, by Henry Neville Coltart. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The unique date of 19 January 1902 for the holotype was given in the original description. The 13 paratypes are: AMNH 577693 and AMNH 577695– 577706.

Henicurus borneensis Sharpe Henicurus borneensis Sharpe (in Sharpe and

Whitehead), 1889: 277 (Kina Balu).

Now Enicurus leschenaulti borneensis ( Sharpe,

1889). See Smythies and Davison, 1999: 482.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 577687 , adult female, 13 April 1888 ; AMNH 577688 , adult male, 29 March 1888 ; AMNH 577689 , immature male, 14 April 1888 ; AMNH 577691 , immature female, 14 April 1888 ; all collected on Kinabalu , 3000 ft, 068039N, 1168329E (Times Atlas), Sabah, Malaysia, by John Whitehead (nos. 2433, 2338, 2460, and 2458, respectively). From the Rothschild Collection .

COMMENTS: In the original description, Sharpe did not designate a type. Hartert (1920: 474) listed the above adult male and female as the ‘‘types’’, noting that they were so marked by the author. Such a label designation is not valid according to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1999: 77, Art. 72.4.7). Of the five specimens listed by Sharpe and Whitehead (1889: 277) in the type series, the above four are at AMNH and are syntypes; I do not know the whereabouts of the other syntype. Two additional AMNH specimens of borneensis , collected by Whitehead on Kinabalu but not listed by Sharpe, have no nomenclatural standing: AMNH 577692 (Whitehead no. 1045), adult female, collected on 1 March 1887, and AMNH 577690 (2459), im­ mature female, collected on 12 April 1888. Their labels have been incorrectly marked ‘‘syntype’’.

Smythies and Davison (1999: 482) discussed the apparent altitudinal overlap between E. l. borneensis and E. l. frontalis .

Enicurus maculatus omissus Rothschild

Enicurus maculatus omissus Rothschild, 1921: 26 (Fokien) .

Now Enicurus maculatus bacatus Bangs and Phillips, 1914 . See Cheng, 1987: 609.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 577778 , unsexed, collected in Fujian (5 Fokien), China, by Tang Wangwang. From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: E. n. omissus was based on a single specimen in the Rothschild Collection ( LeCroy and Dickinson, 2001: 188).

Myadestes unicolor veraepacis Griscom Myadestes unicolor veraepacis Griscom, 1930: 6

(Finca Sepacuite (3500 ft.), 50 miles east of

Coban, Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala).

Now Myadestes unicolor veraepacis Griscom,

1930. See Clement, 2000: 292.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 396234 , adult male, collected at Finca Sepacuite´ , 3500 ft, 50 miles east of Cobán, Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala, on 4 May 1925, by Alfred W. Anthony (no. 1887). From the Dwight Collection (no. 60281).

COMMENTS: M. u. veraepacis was based on a single specimen, the Dwight number of which was given in the original description.

Additional information on this collecting locality is given in Griscom (1932: 13). Cobán is at 158289N, 908209W (Times Atlas). Selander and Vaurie (1962: 57) listed Sepacuité as about 9 km northeast of Senahu´, at 158299N, 898529W.

Various authors have included veraepacis as a synonym of M. u. unicolor ; e.g., Monroe (1968: 306), Phillips (1991: 127), and, by inference, Dickinson (2003: 664).

Myadestes unicolor pallens Miller and Griscom

Myadestes unicolor pallens Miller and Griscom, 1925: 5 (San Rafael del Norte (5000 ft.), Nicaragua).

Now Myadestes unicolor pallens Miller and Griscom, 1925 . See Clement, 2000: 292.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 144399 , adult male, collected at San Rafael del Norte , 5000 ft, 138129N, 868069W (Times Atlas), Nicaragua, on 29 March 1917, by Waldron DeW. Miller (no. 216) and Ludlow Griscom.

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was cited in the original description. Paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 144400 , 144401 , 101386–101388 (3 males, 1 female, 1 female? from San Rafael del Norte) ; AMNH 103428 (male from Jalapa) ; AMNH 103429 (male from Rio Coco ) ; AMNH 102951–102953 (1 male and 2 females from Ocotal). A female specimen from San Rafael del Norte, listed by Miller and Griscom in their type series, was apparently never cataloged at AMNH. Two specimens (a male and an unsexed specimen) from San Rafael del Norte that came to AMNH in 1932 with the Rothschild Collection were not available to Miller and Griscom in 1925 and are not paratypes .

Cichlopsis chubbi Chapman Cichlopsis chubbi Chapman, 1924: 15 (Mindo,

Huila, western Ecuador).

Now Cichlopsis leucogenys chubbi Chapman,

1924. See Clement, 2000: 35, 293, and Ridgely

and Greenfield, 2001: 658–659.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 180610 , adult male, collected at Mindo , 008029S, 788489W ( Paynter, 1993: 126), Pichincha, Ecuador, on 11 August 1923, by Carlos Olalla and sons.

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was cited in the original description. A second specimen, AMNH 180611, female, is the paratype.

Huila is 9 km northwest of Mindo ( Paynter, 1993: 95); both names appear on the original label. The species leucogenys is frequently placed in the genus Myadestes .

Cichlopsis leucogenys peruvianus Hellmayr

Cichlopsis leucogenys peruvianus Hellmayr,

1930: 265. (Perene´, alt. 1,000 metr., Dept. Ju­

nín, Peru).

Now Cichlopsis leucogenys peruvianus Hellmayr,

1930. See Clement, 2000: 35, 293.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 503932 , male (first annual), collected at Perene´ , 1000 m, 108559S, 758159W (Times Atlas), Dept. Junín, Peru, in July 1921, by G.O. Schunke (no. 2175). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: This specimen had not previously been recognized as a type. Hellmayr (1930: 265) based his description on a single specimen in the Rothschild Collection. The name was published subsequent to Hartert’s (1928) Rothschild type list and at about the time Hartert retired. The specimen bore neither a Rothschild nor an AMNH type label. It had been stamped with an AMNH ‘‘First Series’’ stamp, but this stamp was applied to specimens once separated out from the general collection by J.T. Zimmer for reference, not necessarily to type specimens. It is the only specimen of this taxon in AMNH.
