Troglodytes duidae Chapman

Troglodytes duidae Chapman, 1929: 22 (Mt. Duida, 4500 ft.).

Now Troglodytes rufulus duidae Chapman, 1929 . See Rice et al., 1999, and Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 183.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 245933 , adult male, collected at the Summit Central Camp , 4800 ft, Cerro Duida, 03°25′N, 65°40′W ( Paynter, 1982: 54), Venezuela, on 27 December 1928, by G.H.H. Tate (no. 5877). From the Tyler Duida Expedition.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Chapman (1929: 22) gave the AMNH number of the type and listed 19 specimens examined. Because the specimens were only identified to genus in the catalog and more than 19 specimens from Mt. Duida are now identified as duidae , and because the altitudes recorded on the specimen labels do not correspond exactly to the published altitudes, I found it impossible to specify paratypes.
