Guiraca Rothschildii Bartlett

Guiraca Rothschildii Bartlett, 1890: 168 (Carimang River, British Guiana).

Now Cyanocompsa cyanoides rothschildii ( Bartlett, 1890) . See Hartert, 1919: 154, Hellmayr, 1938: 97–99, Paynter, 1970d: 239, and Dickinson, 2003: 825.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 514095 , adult male, collected on the Kamarang River (5 Rio Carimang), 1500 ft, 05.54S, 60.35W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983), Guiana, on 22 April 1885, by Henry Whitely. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Bartlett did not designate a type in the original description, but described male and female; in his table of measurements of rothschildii as well as of related forms, he gave measurements separately for each specimen, therefore, he had only the two speci- mens. Hartert (1919: 154) listed the male as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. The female specimen, AMNH 514096 , is the paralectotype .

The type bears three labels: the original Whitely label, a Rothschild type label, and a plain stiff paper label that is apparently Bartlett’s label. On the front of this label is his new name and his number 7541A; on the reverse is the name, G. cyanea , crossed out, and the number ‘‘4, a.’’ of unknown significance.
