Icterus prosthemelas praecox Phillips and Dickerman

Icterus prosthemelas praecox Phillips and Dickerman, 1965: 298 (Almirante, Bocas del Toro Province, western Panamá).

Now Icterus prosthemelas praecox Phillips and Dickerman, 1965 . See Blake, 1968: 162; Wetmore et al., 1984: 367–368; Dickerman and Parkes, 1997: 231; Omland et al., 1999; Dickinson, 2003: 770; and Fraga, 2011: 770.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 248065 (not 392316), juvenile male, collected at Almirante, 09.20N, 82.18W (Siegel and Olson, 2008), Bocas del Toro Province, western Panamá, on 22 August 1927, by R.R. Benson (no. 797).

COMMENTS: As noted by Charles O’Brien on the AMNH type card, the AMNH number of the holotype was erroneously recorded as AMNH 392316; Dickerman and Parkes (1997: 231) also call attention to this error. The holotype is AMNH 248065. There were four paratypes recorded from Costa Rica, only two of which are in AMNH: Estrella Valley, Atalanta, AMNH 392315, 392316, immature males, both collected on 1 July 1921, by Austin Paul Smith .
