Tinactor fuscus Wied

Tinactor fuscus Wied, 1831: 1106 (southeastern Brazil). Now Sclerurus caudacutus umbretta (Lichtenstein, 1823) [in part] and Sclerurus scansor cearensis Snethlage, 1924 , or S. s. scansor (Ménétriés, 1835) [in part]. See Ridgway, 1890b: 23, 28, Ridgway, 1911: 164 (footnote b), 165 (footnote b), and Cory and Hellmayr, 1925: 245, 253. SYNTYPES: AMNH 6807, male, and AMNH 6806, “female,” collected in southeastern Brazil by Maximilian, Prince of Wied. From the Maximilian Collection.

COMMENTS: These two specimens are considered syntypes of Tinactor fuscus Wied (Allen, 1889b: 242) . As was Wied’s custom, these specimens had apparently been tied together, sharing a label. The original label, bearing only a male symbol, is now glued to the back of an AMNH label that was originally marked with catalog no. 6806, which is cataloged as a male. A second AMNH label and a type label have been added, bearing catalog no. 6807, and the number has been changed to 6807 on the first label.

The other specimen that now bears the number 6806 has no original label but is apparently the unsexed specimen originally cataloged as AMNH 6807. The AMNH label designates this as a female. Allen (1889b: 243) said that the Wied label apparently covered this specimen as well and that the manuscript catalog listed both.

Although the catalog numbers have apparently been reversed on these two specimens, it seems best just to indicate this in the catalog and use the numbers now on the type labels, because they have been cited frequently. The male, AMNH 6807, is a synonym of Sclerurus caudacutus umbretta . The presumed female, AMNH 6806, is a synonym of Sclerurus scansor cearensis or S. s. scansor , because of the undetermined collecting locality of Wied’s specimen.
