Peucedramus olivaceus arizonae
Miller and Griscom
Peucedramus olivaceus arizonae
Miller and Griscom, 1925: 10
(Paradise, Chiricahua Mts.,
Arizona
).
Now
Peucedramus taeniatus arizonae
Miller and Griscom, 1925
. See
Hellmayr, 1935: 359–360
;
Zimmer, 1948: 126–127
;
Lowery and Monroe, 1968: 78
;

; and
Curson, 2010b: 660–665

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 380799
, adult male, collected at
Paradise
,
Chiricahua Mountains
,
Arizona
, on
4 April 1917
, by Austin Paul Smith. From the
Dwight Collection
(no. 47606).
COMMENTS:
Miller
and
Griscom
cited the unique
Dwight Collection
number in the original description and (on p. 13) noted that they had examined from
Arizona
20 adult
males, nine adult females,
14 immature
males and one immature female, and from
Mexico
, three adult males from
Chihuahua
and one adult male from
Miquihuana
,
Tamaulipas
.
The
following
paratypes
are in
AMNH
: Arizona,
AMNH 27850
,
36463
,
53478
,
380789–380798
,
380800–380809
,
11 adult
males, three adult females, eight immature males, one immature female
;
Mexico
,
Chihuahua
,
AMNH 60069
, adult male. I have not considered specimens in
AMNH
that came with the Sanford Collection as
paratypes
;
that collection was not cataloged until after
Sanford’s
death in 1951.
Miller and Griscom (1925: 1)
borrowed specimens from other institutions and perhaps the
paratypes
are widely scattered
.
Zimmer (1948: 126–127)
first realized that Giraud’s 1841 name for the Olive Warbler,
Sylvia olivacea
, was preoccupied by
Sylvia olivacea
Vieillot, 1817
. The next available name for the species is
Sylvia taeniatus
Du Bus, 1847
.
The genus
Peucedramus
was considered by
Lowery and Monroe (1968: 77)
as genus incertae sedis at the end of the
Parulidae
, thus its inclusion in that position here. There has been much research regarding its relationships (see
George, 1962
,
1968
;
Webster, 1962
; Sibley and Ahlquist, 1990: 691–692;
Groth, 1998
, 2000; and
Ericson and Johansson, 2003
), the American Ornithologists’
Union (1998: 532)
accepting it as comprising its own family, the
Peucedramidae
. This has been followed by most recent authors, although the placement of the family varies; see the discussion in
Curson (2010b: 660– 662)
. The generic name
Peucedramus
should be attributed to Coues rather than Henshaw (Chesser, et al., 2011: 606). Also see
Banks
(2011)
for clarification of the
type
locality of the nominate subspecies of
P. taeniatus
.
Peucedramus olivaceus jaliscensis
Miller and
Griscom
Peucedramus olivaceus jaliscensis
