Drymophila phantatis Cherrie, 1916b: 396 (Jatumpampa

(Cochabamba, Todos Santos Trail), Bolivia).

Now Drymophila devillei devillei (Menegaux and Hellmayr, 1906) . See Chapman, 1921b: 4, and Ridgely and

Tudor, 1994: 297.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 148402 , adult male, collected at Jatumpampa , Cochabamba, Bolivia, on 21 February 1915, by George K. Cherrie (no. 18975). Collected on the Collins – Day Expedition.

COMMENTS: Paynter (1992: 71) was unable to give coordinates for this locality. Cherrie described it as being on the Todos Santos Trail. A perusal of his field catalog gives the following dates and localities between Inca Chaca (17°03′S, 65°38′W) and Todos Santos (16°48′S, 65°08′W): 17 February 1915, Inca Chaca ; 18–19 February, Roque Falda ; 21–22 February, Jatum Pampas ; 22–24 February, Tres Arroyas, R. Espirito Santo ; 24 February –6 March, R. Espirito Santo at mouth of R. San Antonio (16°58′S, 65°22′W) ; 9 March, Arroyo above village of Todos Santos ; 10–15 March, Todos Santos

(coordinates from Paynter, 1992). Drymophila caudata striaticeps Chapman Drymophila caudata striaticeps Chapman, 1912: 145 (alt. 9000 ft., Central Andes, above Salento, Cauca, Colombia).

Now Drymophila c. caudata (Sclater, 1855) . See Cory and Hellmayr, 1924: 198, and Fjeldså and Krabbe, 1990: 400.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 111918 , adult male, collected above Salento , 9000 ft, 04°38′N, 75°34′W, Quindío, Colombia, on 6 November 1911, by Arthur A. Allen and Leo E. Miller (no. 1276).

Myiothera maculata Wied

Myiothera maculata Wied, 1831: 1088 (no locality given). Now Terenura maculata (Wied, 1831) . See Allen, 1889b:

254, Ridgely and Tudor, 1994: 289, and Sick, 1997:

543.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 5361, male, and AMNH 5362, female, collected in southeastern Brazil, by Maximilian, Prince of Wied. From the Maximilian Collection.

COMMENTS: Wied, in his original description, gave no specific type locality; Cory and Hellmayr (1924: 201) suggested Rio de Janeiro.

Terenura xanthonota Chapman

Terenura xanthonota Chapman, 1901: 228 (Inca Mine, Peru).

Now Terenura sharpei Berlepsch, 1901 . See Cory and Hellmayr, 1924: 203, Sibley and Monroe, 1990: 388, and Ridgely and Tudor, 1994: 292.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 74103 , adult male, collected at Inca Mine (= Santo Domingo), 13°51′S, 69°41′W, Puno, Peru, on 21 August 1900, by H. H. Keays (no. 101).

Terenura spodioptila signata Zimmer Terenura spodioptila signata Zimmer, 1932f: 5 (Mt. Curycuryari, Rio Negro (right bank), Brazil; altitude 2000 feet).

Now Terenura spodioptila signata Zimmer, 1932. See Pinto, 1978: 378.

Cercomacra sclateri Hellmayr

Cercomacra sclateri Hellmayr, 1905b: 288 (Igarapé-Assú, Pará, Brazil).

Now Cercomacra cinerascens sclateri Hellmayr, 1905 . See Sibley and Monroe, 1990: 388, and Ridgely and Tudor,

1994: 304.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 491032 , adult female, collect- ed at Igarapé-Açu , 01°07′S, 47°37′W, Pará, Brazil, on 28 April 1904, by Alphonse Robert (no. 2154). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: There is considerable confusion in the literature as to type locality and which specimen is the type. Hellmayr (1905b: 269) stated that Robert’s “collection was brought together at a place called Igarapé-Assú, which lies on the railway running from Pará to Bragança, about halfway between these two places.” In the description (Hellmayr, 1905b: 286), he named as type “ One female ad., taken April 28, 1904. No. 2154.” This is without question the specimen listed above. In the next paragraph he mentioned “a female from Chyavetas, N.E. Peru (Bartlett coll.), in the British Museum” as being quite similar to Robert’s specimen. However, when Hartert (1922: 393) published on the types in the Rothschild Museum, he listed “ ‘male,’ Chyavetas, E. Peru, 16.vii.1866. E. Bartlett leg. No. 1588.” as the type of C. sclateri . This specimen (AMNH 491022) has always been labeled as the type in the AMNH Collection, and was erroneously so cited by Hellmayr himself (Cory and Hellmayr, 1924: 214).

The date on the original label of the correct type of this taxon was originally 18 February 1904, and the day and month have been overwritten by hand unknown. A comparison of the field numbers of other specimens collected by Robert in April shows that 28 April is the correct date.

Ceromacra [sic] cinerascens iterata Zimmer

Ceromacra [sic] cinerascens iterata Zimmer, 1932e: 19 (Caxiricatuba, Rio Tapajoz (right bank), Brazil).

Now Cercomacra cinerascens iterata Zimmer, 1932 . See Pinto, 1978: 379.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 286595 , adult female, collect- ed at Caxiricatuba , ca. 02°50′S, 55°08′W, right bank of the Rio Tapajós, Brazil, on 8 May 1931, by Alphonso M. Olalla.

COMMENTS: Paynter and Traylor (1991: 143) gave this locality as being above Belterra (02°38′S, 54°57′W) and opposite Boim (02°49′S, 55°10′W).

Disythamnus [sic] rufiventris Lawrence Disythamnus [sic] rufiventris Lawrence, 1865a: 131 ( New Granada, line of Panama R. R.).

Now Cercomacra tyrannina tyrannina (Sclater, 1855) . See Graves, 1997: 32.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 43460 , immature male, collected on the line of the old Panama railroad, Isthmus of Panama, Panama, by James McLeannan and John R. Galbraith. From the George N. Lawrence

Collection.

COMMENTS: For a discussion of this locality, refer to Dendrornis nana .

Cercomacra nigrescens aequatorialis Zimmer

Cercomacra nigrescens aequatorialis Zimmer, 1931a: 15 (lower Sumaco, eastern Ecuador).

Now Cercomacra nigrescens aequatorialis Zimmer, 1931 . See Graves, 1997: 32.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 184517 , adult female, collect- ed on the lower Volcan Sumaco , 00°34′S, 77°38′W, Napo, Ecuador, on 9 January 1924 (not 1926, as in original description), by Alfonso and Ramón Olalla.

COMMENTS: The translated itinerary of the Olallas in the Department of Ornithology Archives records this locality as follows: “... the 15th [December 1923] we reached the place called Malque Siqui situated at the foot of the Guagua [= baby] Sumaco; the 16th we ascended part of the Guagua Sumaco where we situated our general camp for collecting in the Sumaco proper.

“We started our activities December 20 [1923] and on till January 29, 1924, date on which we climbed the higher parts of the Sumaco.... The temperature recorded from December 20 to January 29 was taken around the Guagua Sumaco, which forms a close part of the Sumaco proper, the birds, mammals, and reptiles taken in this locality being labelled ‘Sumaco Abajo’.”

Cercomacra nigrescens notata Zimmer Cercomacra nigrescens notata Zimmer, 1931a: 14 (Tulumayo, Junín, Peru).

Now Cercomacra nigrescens notata Zimmer, 1931 . See

Graves, 1997: 32.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 169714 (not 169713), adult female, collected at Haciendo Tulumayo , 4000 ft, ca. 11°09′S, 75°20′W, Junín, Peru, on 10 (not 26) May 1921, by Harry Watkins.

COMMENTS: Apparently Zimmer in his original description of this taxon confused data on two specimens. AMNH 169713 is a male collected on 26 May 1921. Because his description of the type is obviously of a female, he probably intended the type to be AMNH no. 169714, with data as given above. Two other females were collected at the same locality by Watkins. AMNH 169715 was collected on 25 May, is not as well prepared, and especially the facial pattern is not as clear. AMNH 169716 was collected on 26 May ; however, the facial pattern does not show up and the tail is in molt. Measurements of all 3 females are very similar and are close to the measurements given by Zimmer for the type. Therefore, it seems most reasonable to accept

AMNH 169714 as the type, as suggested by Charles

O’Brien in a note on the type label dated 30 December 1965.
