Now Icterus gularis mentalis Lesson, 1831 . See Griscom, 1932: 396 ; Hellmayr, 1937: 148 ; Blake, 1968: 156; Dickinson, 2003: 771 ; Dickerman, 2007: 35–38 ; and Fraga, 2011: 765 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 399358 , adult male, collected at San Felipe , 2500 ft , 14.40N , 91.30W (Times atlas), Retalhuleu , Pacific slope of Guatemala , on 7 December 1919 , by Austin Paul Smith (no. 19209). From the Johathan Dwight Collection (no. 56504). COMMENTS: Griscom cited the Dwight number of the holotype in the original description, and noted (on p. 14) that he had 29 specimens from Ocos to San José (including the type), one male from Antigua and one male from San Lucas. Later , he ( Griscom, 1932: 396 ) listed these 31 specimens by locality. Of the 30 paratypes , the following 21 are in AMNH : Finca El Cipres , AMNH 398723 , 398725–398730 , two males, one immature male, four females, 23 July–24 August 1924 ; Antigua , AMNH 398724 , male, 6 June 1924 ; Hacienda California , AMNH 398731–398736 , 398738 , two males, four females, one immature female, 7 June–3 July 1926 , 29 September 1927 ; Ocos , AMNH 398739 , male (as on label), AMNH 398740 , female, 14–16 October 1927 ; San Lucas , AMNH 398737 , male, 27 May 1927 , all collected by A.W. Anthony. Pantaleon , AMNH 399356 , male, 18 October 1919 ; San Felipe , AMNH 399357 , female, 5 December 1919 ; San Jose´ , AMNH 399359 , male, 29 January 1920 , all collected by Austin Paul Smith. Hellmayr (1937: 148) noted that Icterus mentalis Lesson, 1831 , could not be identified with certainty because the type locality was not recorded and recognized instead I. g. tamaulipensis Ridgway, 1901. Blake (1968: 156) and Dickinson (2003: 771) apparently accepted Hellmayr’s analysis and listed tamaulipensis, yucatanensis, and troglodytes as valid subspecies of Icterus gularis without mentioning mentalis ; Dickerman (2007: 35– 38) accepted mentalis Lesson, 1831 , as a valid name, restricted the type locality to the city of Veracruz and considered yucatanensis , tamaulipensis , and troglodytes to be synonyms of mentalis . This was accepted by Fraga (2011: 765) . As in the previous form, the collection was divided between AMNH and MCZ before it was cataloged. The remaining paratypes are probably at MCZ.
