Now Thryothorus ludovicianus lomitensis Sennett, 1890 . See Haggerty and Morton, 1995: 3 , and Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 133. SYNTYPES : AMNH 85954, adult male, collected on 24 April 1878 , AMNH 85955, adult female, collected on 15 May 1878 , AMNH 85956, adult male, collected on 23 February 1880 , at Lomita Ranch, Hidalgo Co., Texas , by G.B. Sennett (nos. 186, 435, and 200, respectively). From the G.B. Sennett Collection (nos. 2588, 2592, and 2599, respectively). COMMENTS : In the original description, Sennett (1890: 58) designated the above specimens as types (= syntypes ), citing his collection number, sex, and date for each, and writing ‘‘type’’ on each. There is a discrepancy between the number he gave (no. 2598) for what is now AMNH 85954 and the number that appears on the specimen (no. 2588). This would appear to be a typographical error, as his specimen no. 2598 is a female collected 21 February 1880 . Because he designated syntypes , other specimens mentioned by him are excluded from the type series. The George B. Sennett Collection was deposited in AMNH in 1885 or 1886 (AMNH Annual Report for 1885/1886) even though it was not purchased until 1903, after his death (AMNH Annual Report for 1903). It was cataloged in 1904 by Waldron DeWitt Miller, who apparently had a card catalog of the collection, not now present in the Department of Ornithology. Miller carefully copied, within quotation marks, any notes on the cards into our catalog. In addition, there are several field catalogs, and specimens from 1878 and 1880 can be traced in those. Sennett’s correspondence with his collectors was deposited in the Mirabeau B. Lamar Library of the University of Texas in Austin in 1958.
