Philydor subflavescens Cabanis

Philydor subflavescens Cabanis, 1873a: 66 .

Now: Philydor ruficaudatum ruficaudatum (d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1838) . See Cory & Hellmayr (1925: 208).

Type series: Cabanis (1873a: 66) based this species on an unspecified number of specimens, which included at least an adult and a juvenile bird. Taczanowski (1875: 528) listed them as two males, perhaps in error, because he later ( Taczanowski 1889: 23) recorded them as a male and an unsexed juvenile. These two specimens are thus syntypes of this species. Both were deposited in the MIZ ( Taczanowski 1889: 23). At least one was destroyed in the 1920s (cf. Sztolman & Domaniewski 1927: 134), and none survived until today ( Mlíkovský 2009b).

Syntype (lost): MIZ unnumbered (N.7174), 3, collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= August to December 1870] at "Monterico" [= Monterrico, Peru].

Syntype (lost): MIZ unnumbered (N.7171), juv., collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= August to December 1870] at "Monterico" [= Monterrico, Peru]. This specimen is also one of the syntypes upon which Berlepsch & Sztolcman (1896: 375) based their Philydor euphrys Berlepsch & Sztolcman, 1896 (see Mlíkovský 2009b).

Type locality: "Monterico" ( Cabanis 1873a: 66), i.e. Monterrico, Peru [12.05°S, 74.10°W].
