Thryothorus platensis Wied

Thryothorus platensis Wied, 1831: 742 . (Rio de Janeiro, Caravellas, u.a.).

Now Troglodytes musculus musculus Naumann, 1823 . See Hellmayr, 1934: 232, footnote 2, and Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 173.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 4253 and AMNH 4254, collected in Brazil by Maximilian, Prince of Wied. From the Maximilian Collection.

COMMENTS: Allen (1889b: 214) discussed these types. He noted that ‘‘Mas.’’ (= male) appeared on the original label of AMNH 4254, which is now glued to the back of the AMNH label. I am no longer able to discern this.

Berlepsch (1873: 230–231) discussed Wied’s name and considered it to be preoccupied, renaming it Thryothorus Wiedi. Hellmayr (1919: 129 , footnote) restricted the type locality to Rio de Janeiro and later ( Hellmayr, 1934: 232, footnote 2) synonymized Troglodytes musculus wiedi with T. m. musculus .
