Spinus olivaceus Berlepsch and Stolzmann

Spinus olivaceus Berlepsch and Stolzmann, 1894: 387 (Vitoc) .

Now Carduelis olivacea ( Berlepsch and Stolzmann, 1894) . See Todd, 1926: 46–47; Hellmayr, 1938: 287; Howell et al., 1968: 243; Dickinson, 2003: 750; Schulenberg et al., 2010: 630; and Clement: 2010: 554.

SYNTYPE: AMNH 516205, adult male, collected at Vitoc, Garita del Sol, ca. 11.17S, 75.21W ( Vaurie, 1972), Junin, Peru, on 13 February 1893, by Jean Kalinowski (no. 1872). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Berlepsch and Stolzmann said that Kalinowski collected three males and one female on 24 July and 13 February 1893 at Vitoc and also included two specimens in the Berlepsch Collection, collected by G. Garlepp at Huayabamba, in their type series; they did not designate a type. Hartert (1919a: 157) recorded the above syntype in the Rothschild Collection, now AMNH 516205 ; it is marked ‘‘Typus’’ by Berlepsch and Stolzmann and bears a Rothschild type label. Mlíkovský (2009: 141) reported two additional syntypes in MIZ .

Mlíkovský (2009: 140) noted that Wolters (1953: 280) had provided a replacement name for Spinus olivaceus Berlepsch and Stolzmann, 1894 [preoccupied by Fringilla olivacea Rafinesque, 1810 , now Carpodacus erythrinus (Pallas, 1770) , if Carpodacus is merged with Carduelis ].
