Dendroeca (sic) capitalis Lawrence

Dendroeca (sic) capitalis Lawrence, 1868: 359 (Barbadoes) .

Now Setophaga petechia petechia (Linnaeus, 1766) View in CoL . See Hellmayr, 1935: 376; Browning, 1994: 40– 42; Curson, 2010b: 745–746; and Lovette et al., 2010: 765.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 39858, adult male, AMNH 39867, adult female, collected on Barbados (5 Barbadoes) Island, West Indies, by A.H. Alexander. From the Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTS: Lawrence described both male and female but did not say how many specimens he had, only saying that the types were in his collection and collected by Alexander. The above two syntypes are the only Barbados specimens that came to AMNH with the Lawrence Collection and both were marked ‘‘Type’’ by Lawrence . He also included a specimen in USNM brought in alcohol from Barbados by Prof. Gill and mentioned by Baird (1864–1866: 202).
