Basileuterus richardsoni Chapman, 1912: 160 (western Andes, west of Popayan, alt. 10,340 ft).

Now Myiothlypis luteoviridis richardsoni ( Chapman, 1912) View in CoL . See Chapman, 1917c: 550; Hellmayr, 1935: 480–481; Meyer de Schauensee, 1946: 8–10; Curson, 2010b: 788; and Lovette et al., 2010: 763, 765–766.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 109971 About AMNH , adult male, collected in the coast range west of Popayan , 10,340 ft, Cauca, Colombia, on 16 July 1911, by William B. Richardson. View Materials

COMMENTS: Chapman gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and stated that he had a type series of seven specimens from the type locality and one from Laguneta. I found only six specimens cataloged from the type locality; the five paratypes are: AMNH 109967 About AMNH , sex?, AMNH 109968–109970 About AMNH , three females, AMNH 109972 About AMNH , male, all collected 15–21 July 1911, by Richardson ; the male specimen was exchanged to BMNH in May 1921. The paratype from Laguneta: AMNH 113267 About AMNH , adult male, 8 September 1911 by A.A. Allen and L.E. Miller, was exchanged to the Rothschild Museum in May 1921, and when that collection came to AMNH in 1932, it was renumbered AMNH 505605 About AMNH . Laguneta later became the type locality of Basileuterus luteoviridis quindianus Meyer de Schauensee, 1946 , and that specimen is now identified as quindianus .

Chapman (1917b: 30–32, pl. X) described the type locality of this form, quoting from the field notes of Leo E. Miller, with whom Richardson covered this area. In the description of collecting localities, he (Chapman, 1917c: 641) explained that the summit was on the Micai trail. Paynter (1997: 337) found Micay to be at 02.46N, 76.55W.
