Sporophila hypoleuca clara Cherrie

Sporophila hypoleuca clara Cherrie, 1916a: 188 (San Lorenzo River (below the mouth of the Cuyabá), Matto Grosso).

Now Sporophila leucoptera leucoptera (Vieillot, 1817) . See Naumburg, 1930: 344–345, Hellmayr, 1938: 182, Dickinson, 2003: 793, and Ridgely and Tudor, 2009: 637–638.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 128119, adult male, collected on the Rio São Lourenço (5 San Lorenzo River), 17.53S, 57.27W ( Paynter and Traylor, 1991), between its mouth and the mouth of the Rio Cuiabá (5 Cuyaba River), 17.05S, 56.36W ( Paynter and Traylor, 1991), Mato Grosso / Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, on 2 January 1914, by George K. Cherrie (no. 17624) on the Roosevelt– Rondon Expedition.

COMMENTS: Cherrie cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. Two additional specimens are paratypes: AMNH 128120, immature male, and AMNH 128121, female, both collected at the same place and on the same day by Cherrie. Because Cherrie was doubtful about the inclusion in clara of the immature male specimen collected by H.H. Smith, said to be similar to clara but browner, it is not part of the type series (ICZN, 1999: 76, Art. 72.4.1).
