Treatment

Phainoptila melanoxantha minor Griscom, 1924a: 8 (Cerro Flores, alt. 6000 ft., eastern Chiriqui, Panama).

Now Phainoptila melanoxantha Salvin, 1877 View in CoL . See Wetmore et al., 1984: 175.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 182954 About AMNH , adult male, collected on Cerro Flores, 5500 ft, Chiriqui, Panama, on 17 March 1924, by Ludlow Griscom and J. Manson Valentine.

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the type was given in the original description. Griscom (1924b) showed Cerro Santiago, 08°34′N, 81°42′W (Times Atlas), on the map accompanying the popular account of his trip and thought that Cerro Flores was perhaps 10 mi east of that peak.

AMNH 182953, male, and AMNH 182955, and 182956, females, are paratypes.
