Muscicapa rivularis Wied

Muscicapa rivularis Wied, 1821: 103 (Villa d’Ilhéos, Bahia, Brazil).

Now Myiothlypis rivularis rivularis ( Wied, 1821) . See Hellmayr, 1935: 520–521; Zimmer, 1949: 58–59; Lowery and Monroe, 1968: 77; Dickinson, 2003: 768; Curson, 2010b: 797; and Lovette et al., 2010: 766.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 4292, female, AMNH 4293, male, AMNH 4294, male, collected at Ilhéus (5 Ilhéos), 14.49S, 39.02W ( Paynter and Traylor, 1991), Bahia, Brazil, ca. mid to

late December 1816 (Bokerman, 1957: 232– 233). From the Maximilian Collection.

COMMENTS: Under Basileuterus strangulatus, Allen (1889c: 215) listed these three specimens as syntypes of Wied’s Muscicapa rivularis . AMNH 4292 and 4294 were apparently mounted together and the original label, glued to the AMNH label of the male, notes both ‘‘Mas.’’ and ‘‘Fem.’’ The original label for AMNH 4293 is glued to its AMNH label and only ‘‘Mas.’’ is noted on it.

Allen (1889c: 215) gave Rio Belmonte as the type locality, and Wied (1821: 103) noted that he had found it first on the Rio Belmonte; however, the description of rivularis accompanied the report of his travels around Villa Ilhéos.
