Hylophilus viridiflavus
Lawrence
Hylophilus viridiflavus
Lawrence, 1861b: 324
(Atlantic side of the Isthmus).
Now
Hylophilus flavipes viridiflavus
Lawrence, 1861
. See
Hellmayr, 1935: 174–175
;
Wetmore et al., 1984: 238–241
;
Dickinson, 2003: 486
; and
Brewer, 2010: 437–438

HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 40132
, female, collected on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus,
Panama
, during the ‘‘winter’’ of 1860–1861, by James McLeannan and
John R. Galbraith. From
the
George N.
Lawrence
Collection (nos. 176 and 198).
COMMENTS: The female was described and Galbraith’s notes quoted in the description said ‘‘Rare; but one obtained, which was found in the jungle.’’ The number ‘‘176’’ on this specimen is apparently the species number in the
Lawrence
Collection; ‘‘198’’ is apparently the collectors’ number. It is marked ‘‘Type’’ by
Lawrence
and bears an AMNH
type
label.
Wetmore et al. (1984: 238
, 240) restricted the
type
locality to Frijoles,
09.10N
,
79.48W
(
Siegel and Olson, 2008
),
Colón
,
Panama
.
I cannot explain the statement by
Wetmore et al. (1984: 241)
that McLeannan took ‘‘possibly only
3 in
addition to the type.’’ While McLeannan did collect alone both before and after the period when he collected with Galbraith, only a single specimen of
viridiflavus
came to AMNH with the
Lawrence
Collection. If other specimens collected by McLeannan alone are found, they are not
paratypes
, as the single specimen was described.
