LECTOTYPE: AMNH 515100 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Grand Cayman Island , Cayman Islands, Greater Antilles, West Indies, on 25 March 1896, by C.B. Taylor (no. 70). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, merely noting that he had ‘‘a fine series’’ collected by Taylor that included males, females, and young. Hartert (1919: 154) listed as type Taylor’s specimen no. 70, male adult, collected on Grand Cayman on 25 March 1896, thereby designating it the lectotype. Paralectotypes that came to AMNH are: AMNH 515101 About AMNH (Taylor no. 88), adult male ; AMNH 515102 About AMNH (2), adult male ; AMNH 515103 About AMNH (27), immature male ; AMNH 515104 About AMNH (48), immature male ; AMNH 515105 About AMNH (72), immature male ; AMNH 515106 About AMNH (110), adult male ; AMNH 515107 About AMNH (113), adult male ; AMNH 515108 About AMNH (12), female (immature male plumage) ; AMNH 515109 About AMNH (28), female, all collected on Grand Cayman in March and April 1896 by Taylor .
