Mimus longicaudatus platensis Chapman

Mimus longicaudatus platensis Chapman, 1924b: 15 (La

Plata Island, off Prov. Manavı´, western Ecuador).

Now Mimus longicaudatus platensis Chapman, 1924 .

See Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 217.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 124841 , adult male, collected on Isla La Plata, 01°16′S, 81°06′W ( Paynter, 1993: 107), SE of San Lorenzo , Manabı´, Ecuador, on 18 March 1913, by William B. Richardson.

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description. Chapman (1924b: 15–16) noted that he examined three males and a female?, giving measurements for the four specimens. He probably decided that the smallest specimen might have been missexed, but the four specimens were each marked by Richardson as having testes enlarged. The three paratypes are AMNH 124842–124844, males, collect­ ed on 14 March 1913.
