Dendrocincla merula badia Zimmer, 1934b: 16 (Pedral,

Rio Tocantins (right bank), Brazil).

Now Dendrocincla merula badia Zimmer, 1934 . See Pinto, 1978: 278.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 430982 , male, collected at Pedral , 02°39′S, 49°41′W (Vanzolini, 1992: 125), right bank of the lower Rio Tocantins, Pará, Brazil, about 125 km from its mouth, on 8 December 1931, by Alfonso M. Olalla.

COMMENTS: The specimen label gives the locality as Baião: Pedral. However, the Olalla notes make it clear that Pedral was a place not far from Baião where Alfonso Olalla collected from 2 to 16 December.

If two species are recognized (see previous taxon), badia would be part of the D. castanoptera group of populations.
