Now Icterus gularis gularis (Wagler, 1829) . See Griscom, 1932: 396 ; Hellmayr, 1937: 148–149 ; Blake, 1968: 156; Dickinson, 2003: 771 ; Dickerman, 2007: 38 ; and Fraga, 2011: 765 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 398742 , adult male, collected at Sacapulas , Río Negro Valley , central Guatemala , on 4 February 1928 , by A.W. Anthony (no. 6513). From the Jonathan Dwight Collection. COMMENTS: Griscom cited Anthony’s unique field number for the holotype in the original description; it had no Dwight Collection number. Griscom (1932: 396) noted that he had eight males and 10 females , including the type, from Sacapulas. Of the 17 paratypes , there are 11 at AMNH : AMNH 398741 , 398743–398752 , four males, seven females, 4 February–13 March 1928 , by A.W. Anthony. This collection was divided with MCZ before cataloging, and the remaining paratypes may be in that institution . Hellmayr (1937: 148–149) recognized gigas and considered xerophilus a synonym of it. Both Blake (1968: 156) and Dickinson (2003: 771) followed him. More recently both Dickerman (2007: 38) and Fraga (2011: 765) synonymized gigas and xerophilus with nominate gularis . Sacapulas is on the Río Negro , 25 mi north of Quiche´, at ca. 15.15N , 91.10W ( Griscom, 1932: 421 and map). See Griscom (1932: 11– 15) for a summary of Anthony’s collecting localities.
