Xanthornus icterus ridgwayi Hartert

Xanthornus icterus ridgwayi Hartert, 1902b: 299 ( Aruba) .

Now Icterus icterus ridgwayi (Hartert, 1902) . See Hartert, 1919a: 137; Hellmayr, 1937: 138–139; Blake, 1968: 159; Omland et al., 1999; Dickinson, 2003: 769–770; and Fraga, 2011: 766–767.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 521891 , adult male, collected on Aruba Island, Dutch West Indies , on 26 June 1892, by Ernst Hartert (no. 105). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert designated as holotype the male specimen he collected on Aruba on 26 June 1892 and said that he had five specimens from Aruba and Curaçao. Only four specimens from those two islands came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, and they were, in fact, the only four specimens listed by Hartert (1893a: 297), although the date for the Aruba specimens was incorrectly given as 27 June. The whereabouts of the fifth specimen is not known. Paratypes in AMNH: Curaçao, near Beekenburg, AMNH 521889 , female, AMNH 521890 , male, 2 August 1892, by Ernst Hartert (nos. 264 and 266, respectively) ; Aruba, AMNH 521892 , female, 26 June 1892, by Ernst Hartert (no. 106) .

Hartert (1893a) had earlier reported on his visit to the Dutch West Indies.
