Emberizoides macrourus hypochondriacus Hellmayr

Emberizoides macrourus hypochondriacus Hellmayr, 1906b: 28 (Frances, Volcano of Chiriqui, 2000 ft.).

Now Emberizoides herbicola hypochondriacus Hellmayr, 1906 . See Hartert 1919: 162, Hellmayr, 1938: 613, Paynter, 1970b: 129, Wetmore et al., 1984: 616–618, and Dickinson, 2003: 791.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 519760 , adult male, collected at Francés , 08.37N, 82.25W ( Siegel and Olson, 2008), Volcano of Chiriqui, 2000 ft, Panama, on 11 November 1905, by H. Watson. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hellmayr cited the number, 110511, of the holotype in the original description. This number is written on both the original label and on the Rothschild label and is apparently a modified date and does not represent the collector’s field number. Hartert (1919: 162), in listing this type, referred to the number as ‘‘110,511,’’ but it is not a catalog number as the Rothschild Collection was never cataloged. Hellmayr had a type series of nine specimens, including males, females, and young, collected by Watson near Francés in October and November 1905; the implication was that they were all in the Rothschild Collection. However, only five of the eight paratypes came to AMNH with that collection: AMNH 519761 , male ; AMNH 519762 , male ; AMNH 519763 , female ; AMNH 519764 , male ; AMNH 519765 , female .
