Poospiza alticola Salvin View in CoL

Poospiza alticola Salvin, 1895: 7 View in CoL (Huamachuco (10,400 feet )).

Now Poospiza alticola Salvin, 1895 View in CoL . See Hellmayr, 1938: 618, and Dickinson, 2003: 790.

SYNTYPE: AMNH 518428, adult male, collected at Huamachuco, 10,400 ft, 07.48S, 78.04W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983), La Libertad, Peru, in February 1894, by O.T. Baron. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Salvin did not designate types in the original description but noted ( Salvin, 1895: 1) that he and Rothschild had both received specimens of birds collected by Baron in northern Peru in the first half of 1894 and that ‘‘the present paper is intended to give some account of the two sets of skins.’’ Salvin (1895: 2) also commented that his collection contained specimens of all of the species listed, but those prefixed by an asterisk were also represented in the Rothschild Collection. The description of Poospiza alticola is prefixed by an asterisk and the above specimen is considered a syntype of the name; it had not previously been so recognized. There are also syntypes in BMNH ( Warren and Harrison, 1971: 20).
