COMMENTS:
Chapman
gave the
AMNH
number of the
holotype
in the original description and gave measurements for
13 males
(including the type) and seven females from
Colombia
and
Ecuador
.
The
following specimens are considered
paratypes

I was not able to verify that the following specimens should be considered
paratypes
: AMNH 134536, male, Alto Bonito,
19 February 1915
was exchanged with USNM, no date, and was perhaps not available to Chapman. AMNH 118351, female, Barbacoas,
22 August 1912
, was exchanged to USNM, no date, and I did not find AMNH 118352, male, Barbacoas,
18 August
1912
in the collection. AMNH 155193, although collected by Richardson on
24 August 1912
at Barbacoas, was not cataloged until 1920, and then only to genus. It is not a
paratype
.
Chapman (1917: 58–68, 640) gave more information on the Miller and Boyle expedition and the locality Alto Bonito.
The subspecies
pacificus
is usually considered a subspecies of
C. uropygialis
, but
Fraga (2011: 749)
has separated the subspecies
pacificus
and
microrhynchus
as the separate species
C. microrhynchus
based on vocal differences. He also suggested that
pacificus
may merit treatment as a full species based on vocal differences, but that more research is required.
