Hylophilus acuticaudus Lawrence

Hylophilus acuticaudus Lawrence, 1865b: 37 (Venezuela) .

Now Hylophilus flavipes acuticauda Lawrence, 1865 . See Hellmayr, 1935: 175–176; Dickinson, 2003: 486; and Brewer, 2010: 437–438.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 40133, unsexed, collected in Venezuela, by S.C. Nash. From the George N. Lawrence Collection (no. 399).

COMMENTS: Lawrence apparently had the single specimen. The measurements pencilled on his label of this specimen are the same as those given in the original description and it is marked ‘‘Type’’ by Lawrence . Todd (1929b: 198) thought that the holotype of acuticauda came from the coastal region of northern Venezuela and designated Puerto La Cruz, Carabobo, Venezuela, as the type locality. Phelps and Phelps (1963: 302) place this locality in the state of Aragua, and Paynter (1982) in the Distrito Federal at 10.32N, 67.21W.
