Iridornis [sic!] Jelskii Cabanis, 1873c: 316 .

Now: Iridosornis jelskii (Cabanis, 1873) . See Hellmayr (1936: 178).

Type series: Cabanis (1873c: 316) based this species on one or more males deposited in the ZMB. The Accession Catalogue of the ZMB listed only one relevant specimen, which is thus the holotype of this species.

Holotype: ZMB 21339 (B-9975), 3, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= May to August 1871] at "Maraynioc" [= Maraynioc, Peru].

Type locality: "Maraynioc" ( Cabanis 1873c: 316), i.e. Maraynioc, Peru [11.37°S, 75.40°W].

Remarks: Sztolcman & Domaniewski (1927: 183) suggested that the MIZ possessed a type specimen of this species. However, this specimen, which was destroyed in the 1920s, had no type status (see Mlíkovský 2009b for details).
