(Perico).

Now Myrmotherula cherriei Berlepsch and Hartert, 1902 .

See Isler et al., 1999.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 490306 , adult male, collected at Perico [probably = Puerto Ayacucho, 05°40′N, 67°35′W], Río Orinoco, Amazonas, Venezuela, on 20 November 1898, by George K. (no. 11292) and Stella M. Cherrie. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Berlepsch and Hartert (1902: 2) described Perico thus: “From Caicara Mr. Cherrie followed the Orinoco, which there turns to the south, till Perico. Perico is near the former site of Atures. The latter place, according to Mr. Cherrie, no longer exists, except on maps. Atures was above the first rapids in the Orinoco, while Perico is just below them. The country for a radius of six or eight miles round Perico is exceedingly arid.”
