Pachysylvia aurantiifrons saturata Hellmayr

Pachysylvia aurantiifrons saturata Hellmayr, 1906: 12 (San Antonio, Cumaná).

Now Hylophilus aurantiifrons saturatus ( Hellmayr, 1906) View in CoL . See Hartert, 1920: 456; Hellmayr, 1935: 171; Dickinson, 2003: 485; and Brewer, 2010: 437.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 505278 About AMNH , female, collected at Rincón de San Antonio (5 San Antonio), ca. 10.16S, 63.43W ( Paynter, 1982), Venezuela, on 18 March 1898, by Henry Caracciola (no. 978). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Contrary to various authors, including Hellmayr (1935: 171) himself, a holotype was designated in the original description, as a footnote on page 12. The number ‘‘978’’ was cited as a Rothschild Collection number, but Rothschild specimens were not cataloged; this number is Caracciolo’s field number. All of the data given match those on AMNH 505278, which bears a Rothschild type label and is the specimen listed by Hartert (1920: 456) as the type of saturatus. Rincón de San Antonio was not definitely located by Paynter (1982), but it is probably on the Sucre / Monagas border and southeast of Cumaná.

Hellmayr (1906: 12) said that he had 8 males and females from Caparo , collected in April and May (year?) and 14 specimens from the vicinity of Cumaná. The following paratypes in AMNH, from the Rothschild Collection and collected before 1906, are: Venezuela, Strait of Cumaná, Santa Ana Valley, AMNH 505279 About AMNH (Caracciolo no. 290), AMNH 505280 About AMNH (287), male, female ; 14 February; Campos Alegre Valley , AMNH 505281 About AMNH (85), AMNH 505282 About AMNH (51), male, female, 6–7 February ; La Tigrera , AMNH
