Xiphorhynchus ocellatus brevirostris Zimmer Xiphorhynchus ocellatus brevirostris Zimmer, 1934d: 18

(Río Inambari, southeastern Perú, 2200 ft.).

Now Xiphorhynchus ocellatus brevirostris Zimmer, 1934 .

See Ridgely and Tudor, 1994: 199.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 132728 , male adult, collected on the Río Inambari , 13°55′S, 70°15′W, 2200 ft, Puno, Peru, on 16 March 1915, by Harry and Casimir Watkins (no. 22).

COMMENTS: The latitude and longitude given here are those on the collectors’ original label and place the type locality in Puno rather than in Madre de Dios (cf. Stephens and Traylor, 1983: 98).

Xiphorhynchus spixii similis Zimmer Xiphorhynchus spixii similis Zimmer, 1934d: 9 (Buena

Vista (above Villavicencio), Colombia, 4500 ft.).

Now Xiphorhynchus spixii buenavistae Zimmer, 1948 .

See Haffer, 1997: 304–305.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 122088 , adult male, collected at Buena Vista , 04°10′S, 73°41′W, 5 km WNW of Villavicencio, Meta, Colombia, on 9 March 1913 by Frank M. Chapman, George K. Cherrie (no. 16490), et al.

COMMENTS: The altitude of this locality is given as 4500 ft on the printed museum label.

In the original description, this specimen is listed as an adult female; however, on the original field label it is sexed as a male, testes not enlarged.

Zimmer (1948: 446) introduced Xiphorhynchus spixii buena-vistae as a new name for X. spixii similis , proccupied by Dendroplex similis Pelzeln, 1868 , a synonym of X. o. obsoletus (Lichtenstein, 1820) .

Xiphorhynchus spixii ornatus Zimmer Xiphorhynchus spixii ornatus Zimmer, 1934d: 7 (Puerto Indiana, mouth of the Río Napo, Perú).

Now Xiphorhynchus elegans ornatus Zimmer, 1934 . See Sibley and Monroe, 1990: 413, and Haffer, 1997: 304. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 231998 , adult female, collect- ed at Puerto Indiana , 03°28′S, 73°03′W, 32 km up the Río Amazonas from its confluence with the Río Napo, Loreto, Peru, on 7 July 1926, by Carlos Olalla and sons.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Zimmer placed Puerto Indiana at the mouth of the Río Napo. It is clear from the Olalla itinerary in the Department left bank of the Amazon from their base camp at Puerto Indiana to the mouth of the Río Napo.

Xiphorhynchus guttatus marginatus Griscom Xiphorhynchus guttatus marginatus Griscom, 1927: 7 (Santa Fé (1600 ft), Veraguas (Pacific slope), western Panama).

Now Xiphorhynchus guttatus marginatus Griscom, 1927 . See Wetmore, 1972: 37.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 187328 , male adult, collected at Santa Fé , a small village in the mountains about 25 km northeast of San Francisco, 8°27′N, 80°52′W, Veraguas, Panama (Selander and Vaurie, 1962: 56), on 16 March 1925, by Rex R. Benson (no. 1025).

Dendrornis nana Lawrence

Dendrornis nana Lawrence, 1863a: 181 (Isthmus of Panama).

Now Xiphorhynchus guttatus nanus (Lawrence, 1863) .

See Wetmore, 1972: 37.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 43261 , unsexed, collected on the old Panama Railroad, Isthmus of Panama, Panama, in 1862, by James McLeannan. From the George N. Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTS: Wetmore (1972: 38) commented: “This collector, who worked near the Frijoles and Lion Hill stations, is known to have taken birds mainly on the Caribbean slope near the place last mentioned. The type locality is here designated as near Gatun, since Lion Hill, less than 4 miles distant, is now submerged in Gatun Lake. The type specimen... from its size (wing 91. 4 mm.) appears to be a female.”

In each listing of a taxon named by Lawrence and based on specimens collected by James McLeannan, we have noted the locality as given by Lawrence in the original description. In the literature, the type locality is usually considered to be near Lion Hill, the station on the old railroad that crossed the Isthmus, at which McLeannan was stationmaster. Salvin collected with McLeannan in Panama and noted (in Sclater and Salvin, 1864: 343–344) that the track car in which they rode, the “Ornithologist,” went up and down the rail line, stopping frequently along the way to collect birds. However, Sclater and Salvin (1869: 17) noted that most of McLeannan’s specimens were obtained in the dense forest near his home. Selander and Vaurie (1962: 38) believed that Lion Hill Station may have been on what is now Lion Island in Gatún Lake, at about 09°14′N, 79°55′W.
