Pheugopedius maculipectus varians Griscom

Pheugopedius maculipectus varians Griscom, 1930c: 7 (San Jose´, Guatemala).

Now Thryothorus maculipectus varians (Griscom, 1930) . See Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 145.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 399215 , adult male, collected at San Jose´, 13°58′N, 90°50′W (Times Atlas), Escuintla, Guatemala, on 3 February 1920, by Austin Paul Smith (no. 19783). From the Dwight Collection (no. 56398).

COMMENTS: The Dwight Collection number of the type was given in the original description. Griscom (1930c: 7) stated that he had 16 specimens, but gave no details. Dwight Collection specimens were certainly included, but other specimens were studied as well ( Griscom, 1930c: 1). Of the 15 paratypes, 10 former Dwight Collection specimens collected by A.P. Smith and A.W. Anthony came to AMNH: AMNH 396132– 396140 and 399216. These are all labeled varians and initialed by Griscom. According to the records in the AMNH Department of Ornithology Archives, four Dwight specimens of this form were retained by MCZ. The number of the type given in Dickerman (1987: 72) was the A.P. Smith field number, not the AMNH catalog number.
