Pygochelidon flavipes Chapman

Pygochelidon flavipes Chapman, 1922: 8 (Maraynioc, 10,850 ft, Prov. Junin, Peru).

Now Notiochelidon flavipes ( Chapman, 1922) . See Turn­ er and Rose 1989: 113–114.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 169932 , adult female, collected at Maraynioc , 11°22′S, 75°24′W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983: 128), 10,850 ft, Junín, Peru, on 7 April 1921, by Harry Watkins.

COMMENTS: The description was based on a single specimen.

Hirundo melanoleuca Wied

Hirundo melanoleuca Wied, 1820: 345 (Cachoeirinha,

Fluss Belmonte).

Now Atticora melanoleuca ( Wied, 1820) . See Turner and Rose, 1989: 120–121.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 6758 , adult [male], collect­ ed on the ‘‘ Rio Grande de Belmonte’ ’, Bahia, Brazil, by Maximilian, Prince of Wied. From the Maximilian Collection.

COMMENTS: Allen (1889b: 216) called attention to the fact that this species was ‘‘described from a single male bird, which is the basis of Temminck’s Pl. 209, Fig. 2, as stated by both Temminck and Wied’’ (1830: 371). The original label no longer shows the sex of the bird, and it has been (incorrectly) designated a female on the AMNH label. It is the only specimen of the taxon that AMNH received with the Maximilian Collection. Temminck’s plate 209 appeared in the 35th Livraison, which according to Dickinson (2001: 46) was published in 1823.

The original Wied label has the locality as ‘‘ Rio Grande de Belmonte’’. Bokermann (1957: 228) and Paynter and Traylor (1991: 328) equated the ‘‘ Rio Grande de Belmonte’’ with the Rio Jequitinhonha, which flows into the Atlantic at Belmonte, 15°51′S, 38°54′W.

Neochelidon tibialis minimus Chapman Neochelidon tibialis minimus Chapman, 1924a: 9 (Juntas de Tamana´, Rio San Juan, western Colombia).

Now Neochelidon tibialis minima Chapman, 1924 . See

Turner and Rose, 1989: 88–89, and Ridgely and Tudor, 1989: 60.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 112468 , adult male, collected at Juntas de Tamana´, 04°59′N, 76°24′W, 800 ft, Río Tamana´, Chocó ( Paynter, 1997: 207), Colombia, on 19 December 1911, by Arthur A. Allen and Leo E. Miller (no. 1688).

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was cited in the original description. Of the 21 specimens of minimus listed by Chapman (1924a: 9), the holotype and the following paratypes are in AMNH: AMNH 107531–107533 from San Jose´, Cauca, Colombia, and AMNH 43581 and 43582, from Panama, G.N. Lawrence Collection.

Neochelidon is feminine and requires a feminine ending for minima ( David and Gosselin, 2002: 19).
