Basileuterus fulvicauda toddi Griscom

Basileuterus fulvicauda toddi Griscom, 1927a: 14 (Boqueron, Chiriqui, Pacific slope of western Panama).

Now Myiothlypis fulvicauda veraguensis (Sharpe, 1885) . See Hellmayr, 1935: 524–525; Zimmer, 1949: 57–58; Lowery and Monroe, 1968: 76; Wetmore et al., 1984: 325–330; Dickinson, 2003: 767–768; Curson, 2010b: 796; and Lovette et al., 2010: 766.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 77774, adult male, collected at Boqueron, 08.30N, 82.34W (Siegel and Olson, 2008), Chiriqui, Pacific slope of western Panama, on 11 October 1901, by J.H. Batty.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Griscom gave the AMNH number of the holotype and listed his paratypes: Panama, interior of Cape Mala Peninsula, AMNH 233273, female, Cerro Montosa, 5 August 1925 ; AMNH 233274, male, Cerro Lago, 4 July 1925; Wilcox Camp, San Lorenzo River, AMNH 182948, male, 4 April 1924. Southwestern Costa Rica, Boruca, AMNH 391949, 391950, male and female, 11 September 1923 ; Buenos Aires, AMNH 391955, female, 17 September 1923 .

Zimmer (1949: 57) considered toddi a synonym of veraguensis and listed four specimens of veraguensis from Costa Rica, but his male specimen from Buenos Aires came to AMNH in 1932 with the Rothschild Collection and would not have been available to Griscom when toddi was named.

There is apparently no reason to suspect either the date or locality of this holotype collected by J.H. Batty (see Olson, 2008: 8).
