Basileuterus culicivorus occultus J.T. Zimmer

Basileuterus culicivorus occultus J.T. Zimmer, 1949: 42 ( Peque , Antioquia, Colombia; altitude 5000 feet).

Now Basileuterus culicivorus occultus J.T. Zimmer, 1949 . See Lowery and Monroe, 1968: 67; and Curson, 2010b: 793; Lovette et al., 2010: 765–766.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 134102 , adult male, collected at Peque , 5000 ft, 06.59N, 75.51W ( Paynter, 1997), Antioquia, Colombia, on 4 February 1915, by Leo E. Miller (no. 11066) and Howarth Boyle.

COMMENTS: Zimmer cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed (on p. 46) his type series. The paratypes are: Primavera, AMNH 505739–505743 , five males, collected in 1904, by Raap ; Miraflores, AMNH 109169 , sex?, collected on 23 April 1911, by Chapman and Richardson .

AMNH 109169 bears the stamped locality ‘‘e. of Palmira, 6800 ft, Cauca, but the field tag gives the locality as ‘‘Mir.,’’ 6200 ft. Chapman (1917b: 22) explained this apparent discrepancy. The field party were guests at the sugar estate of Charles Elder 5 mi north of Palmira until 18 April when they moved to his bungalow, Miraflores, at about 6100 ft, on the western slope of the Central Andes, until 1 May.
