Cercomacra sclateri
Hellmayr
Cercomacra sclateri
Hellmayr, 1905b: 288
(Igarapé-Assú,
Pará
,
Brazil
).
Now
Cercomacra cinerascens sclateri
Hellmayr, 1905
. See Sibley and Monroe, 1990: 388, and Ridgely and Tudor,
1994: 304.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 491032
, adult female, collect- ed at
Igarapé-Açu
,
01°07′S
,
47°37′W
,
Pará
,
Brazil
, on
28 April 1904
, by
Alphonse Robert
(no. 2154).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: There is considerable confusion in the literature as to
type
locality and which specimen is the
type
. Hellmayr (1905b: 269) stated that Robert’s “collection was brought together at a place called
Igarapé-Assú,
which lies on the railway running from Pará to Bragança, about halfway between these two places.” In the description (Hellmayr, 1905b: 286), he named as
type
“
One female
ad., taken
April 28, 1904
. No. 2154.” This is without question the specimen listed above. In the next paragraph he mentioned “a female from Chyavetas, N.E.
Peru
(Bartlett coll.), in the British Museum” as being quite similar to Robert’s specimen. However, when Hartert (1922: 393) published on the
types
in the Rothschild Museum, he listed “ ‘male,’ Chyavetas, E.
Peru
,
16.vii.1866
. E. Bartlett leg. No. 1588.” as the
type
of
C. sclateri
.
This specimen (AMNH 491022) has always been labeled as the
type
in the AMNH Collection, and was erroneously so cited by Hellmayr himself (Cory and Hellmayr, 1924: 214).
The date on the original label of the correct
type
of this taxon was originally
18 February 1904
, and the day and month have been overwritten by hand unknown. A comparison of the field numbers of other specimens collected by Robert in April shows that 28 April is the correct date.

,
55°10′W
).

Zimmer
Cercomacra nigrescens aequatorialis
Zimmer, 1931a: 15
(lower Sumaco, eastern
Ecuador
).
Now
Cercomacra nigrescens aequatorialis
Zimmer, 1931
. See Graves, 1997: 32.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 184517
, adult female, collect- ed on the
lower Volcan Sumaco
,
00°34′S
,
77°38′W
,
Napo
,
Ecuador
, on
9 January 1924
(not 1926, as in original description), by
Alfonso
and Ramón Olalla.
COMMENTS
: The translated itinerary of the Olallas in the Department of Ornithology Archives records this locality as follows: “... the 15th [
December 1923
] we reached the place called Malque Siqui situated at the foot of the Guagua [= baby] Sumaco; the 16th we ascended part of the Guagua Sumaco where we situated our general camp for collecting in the Sumaco proper.
“We started our activities December 20 [1923] and on till
January 29, 1924
, date on which we climbed the higher parts of the Sumaco.... The temperature recorded from December 20 to January 29 was taken around the Guagua Sumaco, which forms a close part of the Sumaco proper, the birds, mammals, and reptiles taken in this locality being labelled ‘Sumaco Abajo’.”
Cercomacra nigrescens notata
Zimmer
Cercomacra nigrescens notata
Zimmer, 1931a: 14
(Tulumayo,
Junín
,
Peru
).
Now
Cercomacra nigrescens notata
Zimmer, 1931
. See
Graves, 1997: 32.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 169714
(not 169713), adult female, collected at
Haciendo Tulumayo
,
4000 ft
, ca.
11°09′S
,
75°20′W
,
Junín
,
Peru
, on 10 (not 26)
May 1921
, by Harry Watkins.
COMMENTS
: Apparently Zimmer in his original description of this taxon confused data on
two specimens
. AMNH 169713 is a male collected on
26 May 1921
. Because his description of the
type
is obviously of a female, he probably intended the
type
to be AMNH no. 169714, with data as given above. Two other females were collected at the same locality by Watkins. AMNH 169715 was collected on 25 May, is not as well prepared, and especially the facial pattern is not as clear. AMNH 169716 was collected on 26 May
; however, the facial pattern does not show up and the tail is in molt. Measurements of all
3 females
are very similar and are close to the measurements given by Zimmer for the
type
. Therefore, it seems most reasonable to accept
AMNH 169714 as the
type
, as suggested by Charles
O’Brien in a note on the
type
label dated
30 December 1965
.
