[ Fringilla crassirostris Wied ]

No specimens were found in AMNH by Allen (1889b: 222) or by me. Wied (1830: 564) introduced Fringilla crassirostris and (p. 566) noted that he found it on the Rio Espirito Santo and at Caravellas. F. crassirostris of Wied was found to be different from and junior to Loxia crassirostris Gmelin, 1789 . Cabanis (1851: 151, footnote) provided the new name Oryzoborus Maximiliani. Hellmayr (1938: 240) recognized the form as Oryzoborus crassirostris maximiliani Cabanis, 1851 , accepting Gmelin’s name for the species.

See Dickinson et al. (2011: 80–81) for the dating of Cabanis (1851).
