COMMENTS
: The Mathews Collection number was given in the original description but does not appear on the labels. However, the information on the specimen corresponds to that opposite number
9145 in
the catalog. This specimen has a yellow Mathews label indicating that it was figured in
Mathews (1919
–1920: pt. 1, p. 50 and pl. 375), a green Mathews
type
label and a Rothschild
type
label, as well as Rogers’ field label. Mathews did not indicate how many specimens he had.
Sibley and Monroe (1990: 580)
and
Johnstone (2001: 88)
placed
nigricans
in the genus
Hirundo
, and the latter did not recognize the subspecies
neglecta
.
