Myioborus duidae Chapman

Myioborus duidae Chapman, 1929b: 24 (Central Camp, 4800 ft, Mt. Duida, Venezuela).

Now Myioborus castaneocapilla duidae Chapman, 1929 . See Hellmayr, 1935: 472; Pérez-Emán, 2005; Dickinson, 2003: 765; Curson, 2010b: 781–782; and Lovette et al., 2010: 765.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 245935 (not 245925, as in description), adult male, collected at the Summit Central Camp , 4800 ft, Mount Duida, 03.25N, 65.40W ( Paynter, 1982), Amazonas, Venezuela, on 31 December 1928, by G.H.H. Tate, on the Tyler Duida Expedition (no. 5904).

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was incorrectly printed in the original description ; AMNH 245935 is the correct number. AMNH 245925 is the type of Taraba major duidae . I have not been able to identify the paratypes for Myioborus duidae . There are 81 specimens of this form cataloged and Chapman (1929b: 24) listed only 27 specimens examined from five altitudes. It is possible that he considered only adult males, in which case there were 30 adult males cataloged from the five altitudes. But there is no indication on the labels that they should serve as paratypes .

See Chapman (1931) for a comparative treatment of the mountain avifaunas of Mount Duida and Mount Roraima.
