Mimus gilvus antillarum Hellmayr and Seilern

Mimus gilvus antillarum Hellmayr and Seilern, 1915: 201 ( Granada).

Now Mimus gilvus antillarum Hellmayr and Seilern, 1915 . See Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 214.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 504046 , adult male, collected on Grenada Island, Lesser Antilles , West Indies, in November 1897, by P. Gellineau. From the Dalmas Museum (E. XXIII.19.a.–397) via the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: The type was said to be a male in the Rothschild Collection, and this is the single male with label data matching that cited for the type that came to AMNH. Paratypes were not list­ ed, but three additional specimens from the Dalmas Museum that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection had probably been consulted by Hellmayr and Seilern: AMNH 504047, female, with the same data as the holotype, and AMNH 504048 and 504049, two males from St. Vincent. AMNH 504050–504055 from St. Vincent were collected early enough and may also be paratypes.
