Zonotrichia capensis carabayae Chapman

Zonotrichia capensis carabayae Chapman, 1940: 395 (Limbani, 10,000 feet, Carabaya, southeastern Peru).

Now Zonotrichia capensis carabayae Chapman, 1940 . See Paynter, 1970: 59, Byers et al., 1995: 236–238, and Dickinson, 2003: 783.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 150012 , adult male, collected at Limbani , 10,000 ft, 14.08S, 69.42W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983), Puno, southeastern Peru, on 26 August 1918, by Harry Watkins (no. 1193).

COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed 45 adults as his type series, many of which were noted as having been borrowed from other institutions. I did not find either in the collection or the catalog the two specimens from El Cumbra and Pongo, Bolivia, indicated as being in AMNH. The other 23 paratypes in AMNH are: Bolivia, Incachacha, AMNH 138039– 138041 , two males and one female ; Peru, Ollantaytambo , AMNH 145609 , female ; Machu Picchu , AMNH 145613 , female ; Huaracondo Cañon , AMNH 145614 , unsexed ; Limbani , AMNH 150011 , 150013–150017 , two males, four females ; Perene , AMNH 169337 , male ; La Merced , AMNH 169338 , 169339 , two males ; Utcuyacu , AMNH 169342 , 169343 , two males ; Tulumayo , AMNH 170052–170056 , four males, one female ; and Rio Seco , AMNH 235103 , female. Chapman listed only adults in his type series ; AMNH 145612 , juvenile male from Machu Picchu, is not considered a paratype of carabayae .
