Icterus hondae Chapman, 1914: 191 (Honda, alt. 600 ft, Magdalena River, Colombia).

Now Icterus chrysater hondae Chapman, 1914 . See Hellmayr, 1937: 131–132; Blake, 1968: 151; Olson, 1981: 369–370; Omland et al., 1999; Dickinson, 2003: 771; and Fraga, 2011: 759.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 123163 , adult male, collected at Honda , 600 ft, 05.12N, 74.45W ( Paynter, 1997), Magdalena River, Colombia, on 3 February 1913, by Frank M. Chapman and George K. Cherrie.

COMMENTS: Chapman gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and noted that he had only one additional specimen. The paratype is: AMNH 123162, adult male, collected at Honda on 4 February 1913 by Chapman and Cherrie. Olson (1981: 369–370) and Dickinson (2003: 771) recognized hondae ; Fraga (2011: 759) synonymized it with I. chrysater giraudii . Olson (1981: 370) gave characters for recognition of hondae based on the above two specimens, and noted that additional specimens of hondae from the upper Magdalelna River Valley are needed.
