Icterus northropi Allen

Icterus northropi Allen, 1890: 344 (Andros Island, Bahamas).

Now Icterus northropi Allen, 1890 . See Hellmayr, 1937: 117; Blake, 1968: 163; Omland et al., 1999; Dickinson, 2003: 770; Garrido et al., 2005; and Fraga, 2011: 771.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 49911, adult male,

AMNH 49912, adult female, collected on

Andros Island, Bahamas, on 3 June and 14 April 1890, by John I. Northrop.

COMMENTS: Because syntypes were designated in the original description, other specimens have no nomenclatural standing. Northrop (1891) published on his specimens and observations of the birds on Andros and illustrated I. northropi in a plate. I. northropi has usually been considered a subspecies of I. dominicensis , but most recent authors support full species status for it.
