Coereba mexicana caucae Chapman

Coereba mexicana caucae Chapman, 1914: 186 (Cali (alt. 3500 ft), Cauca Valley, Colombia).

Now Coereba flaveola caucae Chapman, 1914 . See Hellmayr, 1935: 299; Lowery and Monroe, 1968: 88; and Dickinson, 2003: 776; Hilty, 2011: 328–329.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 109240 , adult male, collected at Cali , 3500 ft, 03.27N, 76.31W ( Paynter, 1997), Cauca Valley, Colombia, on 10 May 1911, by F.M. Chapman and W.B. Richardson.

COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and based his description on 11 adult specimens from the Cauca Valley and the subtropical zone of the Western Andes. I could account for only nine of these specimens, including the holotype. The paratypes are: Cali , AMNH 71904 , female, undated, collected by Batty, AMNH 108478 , 108481 , 10848 3, two males, one female, 20–27 December 1910, by Richardson ; Rio Frio , AMNH 112859 , 29 November 1911, by A.A. Allen and L.E. Miller ; San Antonio , AMNH 108480 , female, 24 January 1911, by Richardson ; Las Lomitas , AMNH 108479 , 108482 , males, 11 March and 28 February 1911, by Richardson. Of these, I did not find AMNH 108479 in the collection and AMNH 108482 was exchanged to BMNH in May 1921. Chapman questioned the inclusion of an immature specimen from Miraflores in caucae, and it is therefore not a paratype. That specimen is AMNH 109241 and is labeled as coming from E. of Palmira, but the field label indicates that it is from Mir [aflores]. See Chapman (1917b) for a description of the various AMNH expeditions to Colombia .
