HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 325625
, adult male, collected on the east side of
Barbados Island
, ca.
900 ft
,
Lesser Antilles
,
West Indies
, on
18 March 1924
, by
Gerald H. Thayer
and
Sinclair Clark.
COMMENTS
: The AMNH number of the type was cited in the original description. The
paratype
is AMNH 325626, adult female, collected at Bathsheba,
Barbados
on
25 March 1924
, by Gerald H. Thayer. As
Buden (1993: 76)
noted, the label data on this specimen were said to be extracted from Thayer’s field notes. I have not found Thayer’s
Barbados
notes, although his
St. Vincent
notes are on file in the AMNH Department of Ornithology Archives. The label on the
holotype
is original and the data are in Thayer’s hand, as is ‘‘
Allenia montana
[
atlantica
] proposed name G.H.T.’’ (
Buden, 1993: 82
).
This population may be extinct (
