Zonotrichia capensis septentrionalis Griscom

Zonotrichia capensis septentrionalis Griscom, 1930: 12 (Chichicastenango, Guatemala).

Now Zonotrichia capensis septentrionalis Griscom, 1930 . See Hellmayr, 1938: 571, Chapman, 1940: 390–391, Byers et al., 1995: 236–238, and Dickinson, 2003: 782.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 397976 , adult male, collected at Chichicastenango , 14.56N, 91.07W ( USBGN, 1965), El Quiche´, Guatemala; 27 January 1925, by Alfred W. Anthony. From the Dwight Collection (no. 60798).

COMMENTS: The Dwight Collection number of the holotype was given in the original description. Griscom mentioned that he examined 84 specimens from 15 localities in the Guatemalan highlands, without giving specifics. Later, he ( Griscom, 1932b: 363) listed his localities and the number of specimens from each, but I count only 82 specimens on his list. Of these, 64 were cataloged at AMNH. The 63 AMNH paratypes are: AMNH 397959– 397975 , 397977–398022 , 39 males, 20 females, 3 immatures, and 1 sex unknown ; of these, I did not find AMNH 397959 , sex?, from Antigua, in the collection .

Subsequent to the publication by Griscom (1932b) on the entire Guatemalan collection and before it was cataloged at AMNH, a large number of the specimens were retained at MCZ. The remaining paratypes are probably there.
