Vireolanius pulchellus viridiceps Ridgway

Vireolanius pulchellus viridiceps Ridgway, 1903: 108 ( Panama) .

Now Vireolanius pulchellus viridiceps Ridgway, 1903 . See Hellmayr, 1935: 189; Blake, 1968: 109; Wetmore et al., 1984: 207–208; Dickinson, 2003: 482; and Brewer, 2010: 416.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 40148 , female, collected in Panama, in 1882, by J. McLeannan (no. 314). From the George N. Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTS: Ridgway cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description but did not give the number of specimens he examined. McLeannan was the stationmaster at the Lion Hill station of the Panama Railroad and that is usually considered the type locality of new forms collected by him. No other specimens were mentioned by Ridgway and there are no other specimens of this form in AMNH collected early enough to have been seen by him.
