Turdus gigantodes
Cabanis
Turdus gigantodes
Cabanis, 1873c
: 315
.
Now
:
Turdus fuscater gigantodes
Cabanis, 1873
. See
Hellmayr (1934: 416)
.
Type
series
:
Cabanis (1873c: 315–6316)
based this species on one or more females deposited in the
ZMB
. Entries in the Accession Catalogue of the
ZMB
indicate that he had only one relevant specimen at disposal, which is thus the
holotype
of this species.
Holotype
:
ZMB
21191 (B-9963), Ƥ, collected by Jelski in "1873" (younger
ZMB
label) [=
May to September 1871
] at "Maraynioc" [= Maraynioc,
Peru
]. The date given on the
ZMB
label refers to the year when the
ZMB
received and catalogued the specimen, not to a collection date.
Type
locality
: "Maraynioc" (
Cabanis 1873c: 315
), i.e. Maraynioc,
Peru
[
11.37°S
,
75.40°W
].
Remarks
:
Taczanowski (1875: 503)
wrote that he received from Jelski "plusieurs exemplaires" (several specimens) collected at Maraynioc and at Ninabamba [= Ninacaca], but he correctly did not list
Turdus gigantodes
Cabanis
among the species whose
type
specimens were deposited in the MIZ (
Taczanowski 1889
).
Sztolcman & Domaniewski (1927: 156)
believed that a juvenile specimen (MIZ 34324) belonged to the
type
series of the latter species (see
Mlíkovský 2009b
for details). This is not the case, however, because the species was based on a
holotype
deposited in the ZMB.
