Tangara ruficervix amabilis J.T. Zimmer

Tangara ruficervix amabilis J.T. Zimmer, 1943d: 1 (Uchco, about 50 miles east of Chachapoyas, northern Perú; altitude 5000 feet).

Now Tangara ruficervix amabilis J.T. Zimmer, 1943 . See Storer, 1970: 378, Isler and Isler, 1999: 310–311, and Dickinson, 2003: 812.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 235263 , adult male, collected at Uscho (5 Uchco), 5000 ft, ca. 06.11S, 77.13W ( Vaurie, 1972), about 50 mi east of Chachapoyas, northern Peru, on 28 October 1925, by Harry Watkins (no. 9798).

COMMENTS: Zimmer cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed the specimens he examined. The paratypes are: Uscho, AMNH 235264, male; Chaupe, AMNH 18l692– 181697, five males, one female. I did not find AMNH 181694 in the collection. Zimmer (1943d: 2) also included in amabilis an unsexed specimen from Nuevo Loreto, Peru, mentioned by Hellmayr (1936: 132, footnote 2); this specimen is also a paratype. Stephens and Traylor (1983) noted that it is uncertain whether Uscho is in San Martin or Amazonas province.
