Paroaria baeri Hellmayr

Paroaria baeri Hellmayr, 1907a: 43 (Rio Araguaya, State of Goyaz, Brazil).

Now Paroaria baeri baeri Hellmayr, 1907 . See Hellmayr, 1938: 65, and Dickinson, 2003: 802.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 520205 , adult female, collected on the Rio Araguaia (5 Rio Araguaya), Goiás, Brazil, in August 1906, by G.A. Baer (no. 2396). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hellmayr gave Baer’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and noted that Baer obtained two adults and one young specimen. Later, Hellmayr (1908: 14, 36–37), in his full report on Baer’s collection, gave more detail on the type series and stated that the collecting locality on the Rio Araguaia was near Leopoldina, 550 m altitude. Paynter and Traylor (1991) equated Leopoldina with Aruanã, 14.54S, 51.05W. The two paratypes are: AMNH 520206, immature female, collected in August 1906 by Baer (no. 2357); AMNH 520207, male, collected in June 1906 by Baer (no. 2212), both from the Rio Araguaia.

CATAMBLYRHYNCHINAE

The genus Catamblyrhynchus was included in the tribe Thraupini of the Emberizinae by Sibley and Monroe (1990: 738, 758). It was listed as genus incertae sedis by Dickinson (2003: 822) at the end of the Thraupidae and is often included within the Thraupidae ( Ridgely and Tudor, 2009: 577) . Because this type list follows the arrangement in Peters’ Check-list ( Paynter, 1970c: 215), Catamblyrhynchus is listed here as a subfamily within the Emberizidae .
