Icterus violaceus
Wied
Icterus violaceus
Wied, 1831: 1212
(
Rio
Parahyba
and Cabo Frio,
Rio de Janeiro
).
Now
Molothrus bonariensis bonariensis
(Gmelin, 1789)
. See
Allen, 1889c: 226
; and
Hellmayr, 1937: 59–64
.
SYNTYPES
:
AMNH 6771
, female,
AMNH 6772
, male, and
AMNH 4719
, male, collected in ‘‘Brasilia’’ by Maximilian, Prince of Wied. From the Maximilian Collection.
COMMENTS:
Allen (1889c: 226)
listed two Wied names under
Molothrus bonariensis
:
Oriolus violaceus
Wied (1820: 53)
and
Icterus violaceus
Wied (1831: 1212)
. The earlier name appears in Wied’s text but is a nomen nudum there. It is not mentioned by
Hellmayr (1937: 59–64)
.
As
syntypes
of
Icterus violaceus
Wied,
Allen (1889c: 226)
listed only AMNH 6771 and 6772 (incorrectly given as 6671 and 6672). The original Wied label that is glued to the back of the AMNH label on AMNH 6772 was marked ‘‘
Icterus violaceus
mihi’’ in Wied’s hand and had applied to two specimens, a male and female. The female is AMNH 6771, and it was labeled ‘‘female’’ by Allen. The two specimens had probably been tied together originally.
There is a third
syntype
in AMNH, a Wied specimen of
violaceus
in male plumage that was on exhibit and perhaps because of this was overlooked by Allen. It is AMNH 4719, male, also with an original Wied label bearing the name ‘‘
Icterus violaceus
mihi’’ in Wied’s hand and applying to two specimens, a male and a male juvenile. I did not find the male juvenile in the collection although there is an entry in the AMNH catalog at number 4721 of a ‘‘male juv?’’ without other data.
Molothrus bonariensis milleri
Naumburg and
Friedmann
Molothrus bonariensis milleri
Naumburg and Friedmann, 1927: 494
(Urucum, near Corumbá, Matto Grosso,
Brazil
).
Now
Molothrus bonariensis bonariensis
(Gmelin, 1789)
. See
Naumburg, 1930: 394
;
Hellmayr, 1937: 59–64
; Blake, 1968: 198;
Dickinson, 2003: 773
; and
Fraga, 2011: 786–787
.
