Anthus hellmayri Hartert View in CoL

Anthus hellmayri Hartert (in Hartert and Venturi), 1909: 165 (Tucuman).

Now Anthus hellmayri hellmayri Hartert, 1909 View in CoL . See Ridgely and Tudor, 1989: 140.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 500459 About AMNH , adult male, collected in San Miguel de Tucumán (= Tucumán City ), 450 m, 26°49′S, 65°13′W ( Paynter, 1995: 721), Argentina, on 12 June 1904, by Luís Dinelli (no. 3120). From the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Hartert gave Dinelli’s field number of the holotype in the original description. Hartert (in Hartert and Venturi, 1909: 165) said: ‘‘Il y a à Tring deux autres exemplaires de Tucuman, S. Venturi coll., ϐ, 17.vi.1904, et G. Dinelli coll.’’ Hellmayr (1935: 100) noted that: ‘‘Although the Brazilian form, ‘ Anthus chii ’ auct., was considered the same, Hartert’s diagnosis was exclusively based on three examples from the vicinity of Tucumán City.’’ Hartert’s statement is confusing, leading Hellmayr to conclude that the description was based on three specimens, while in fact there were four. In addition to the holotype, there are three paratypes from Tucumán: a second specimen collected by Dinelli, AMNH 500460, male, 17 June 1904 (no. 3136); and two specimens collected by S. Venturi, AMNH 500461, male (no. 1000), and AMNH 500462, female (no. 999), both collected on 31 October 1899.
