Saltator grandis hesperis Griscom

Saltator grandis hesperis Griscom, 1930: 8 (San Jose´, Guatemala).

Now Saltator coerulescens hesperis Griscom, 1930 . See Hellmayr, 1938: 19–20, and Dickinson, 2003: 824.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 399307 , adult male, collected at San Jose´ , 13.58N, 90.50W (Times Atlas), Guatemala, on 24 January 1920, by Austin Paul Smith (no. 19837). From the Dwight Collection (no. 56541).

COMMENTS: In the original description, Griscom cited the Dwight Collection number of the holotype and listed the material examined, but did not give all of the collecting locality names. Using the localities listed later by Griscom (1932b: 354), the following 25 paratypes are in AMNH: San Lucas, AMNH 397780–397782 , three males ; Finca El Cipres , AMNH 397783 , 397785 , one male, one female ; Finca El Espino , AMNH 397784 , male ; Hacienda California, AMNH 397786–397797 , 397799 , 397800 , nine males, three females, one immature male?, one immature sex ?; Panajachel , AMNH 397798 , male ?; Ocos , AMNH 397801 , female ; San Felipe , Retalhulen, AMNH 399304 , male ; Lake Amatitlan , AMNH 399305 , 399306 , one male, one female. All of these paratypes were labeled ‘‘ hesperis’’ or ‘‘nearest hesperis ’’ and initialed by Griscom. AMNH 397779 , an adult male from La Primavera, was labeled hesperis ± grandis by Griscom but was not included in the localities listed by him later ( Griscom, 1932b: 354). I did not consider it a paratype. There are perhaps other paratypes at MCZ .
