Dendroica petechia flaviceps Chapman

Dendroica petechia flaviceps Chapman, 1892: 310 (Rum Cay, Bahamas).

Now Setophaga petechia flaviceps (Chapman, 1892) . See Hellmayr, 1935: 371; Lowery and Monroe, 1968: 16; Browning, 1994: 38, 42; Curson, 2010b: 745–746; and Lovette et al., 2010: 765.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 39848 (USNM no. 108076), adult male, collected on Rum Cay, Bahamas, on 4 March 1886, by naturalists on the Fish Commission steamship Albatross. Presented by the Smithsonian Institution.

COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype and said that he had examined 21 adult males from Rum Cay, New Providence, Conception, Wattling, Eleuthera, and Cat islands, all from the Albatross expedition. None of the paratypes are in AMNH. A female specimen from Rum Cay came to AMNH via the Lawrence Collection but was not cataloged until 1902, long after the description of flaviceps .

See Lovette et al. (2010: 765) for the use of Setophaga instead of Dendroica .
