Dendrocincla olivacea Lawrence, 1862: 466 (Atlantic

Now Dendrocincla fuliginosa ridgwayi Oberholser, 1904 .

See Ridgway, 1911: 292, and Wetmore, 1972: 4.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 43240 , female, collected on the Atlantic slope of the old Panama Railroad, Isthmus of Panama, Panama, by James McLeannan and John R. Galbraith. From the George N. Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Lawrence did not mention the sex of his specimen, but mentioned that he sent “it” to Sclater for examination, implying that he had only one. In describing it, he noted that it was his species number 182 in part 2 of his catalog, which he had previously listed under Dendrocincla fumigatus ?. This specimen has the number 182 and “ type ” written on the label in Lawrence’s hand, and there seems to be no doubt that this is the specimen he had in hand when he described this taxon.

Dendrocincla olivacea proved to be preoccupied by Dendrocops olivaceus Eyton, 1852 (= Dendrocincla tyrannina ). The next available name is Dendrocincla ridgwayi Oberholser, 1904 . Ridgway (1911: 292) provided a complete synonymy.
