Calliste johannae Dalmas

Calliste johannae Dalmas, 1900a: 36 (El Paillon, près de Buenaventura).

Now Tangara johannae (Dalmas, 1900) . See Hellmayr, 1936: 95–96, Isler and Isler, 1999: 285–286, and Dickinson, 2003: 810.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 512804 , adult male, collected at Estero Pailón (5 El Paillon), 03.53S, 77.04W ( Paynter, 1997), Valle del Cauca, Colombia, undated, by E. Andre´. From the Dalmas Collection via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Dalmas did not designate a type in the original description, but said that he had two specimens, a male and a female. Hartert (1919: 150) listed the male as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. The paralectotype did not come to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. According to Hartert (1919: 151), ‘‘Comte de Dalmas had [when johannae was described] a fine collection of South American birds, but a few years later he gave it up, as part of it had been destroyed by moths. We were fortunate to acquire the rest, except all Humming Birds, which went into Mr. Simon’s collection, for the [Rothschild Collection].’’ But, according to Hellmayr (1931: 163) part of Dalmas’ collection was acquired by Rothschild and part by ZSM; the paralectotype, if extant, may be in ZSM.

The type locality was spelled ‘‘El Paillon’’ in the original description but it is spelled ‘‘El Pailon’’ on André’s original label and given as Estero Pailón by Paynter (1997).
