Chlorornis riefferii diluta J.T. Zimmer

Chlorornis riefferii diluta J.T. Zimmer, 1947b: 20 ( San Pedro, south of Chachapoyas, northern Perú; altitude 8600 to 9400 feet.).

Now Chlorornis riefferii dilutus J.T. Zimmer, 1947 . See Storer, 1970: 252, Isler and Isler, 1999: 55, and Dickinson, 2003: 809.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 235729 , adult male, collected at San Pedro, 8600–9400 ft, south of Chachapoyas , 06.13S, 77.51W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983), Amazonas, northern Peru, on 26 January 1926, by Harry Watkins (no. 10055).

COMMENTS: In the original description, Zimmer cited the AMNH number of the holotype, but miscopied the number onto the type label as no. 170242 ; this has been corrected. The AMNH number cited above is the correct one. Zimmer (1947b: 22) listed the specimens that he examined. Paratypes are: La Lejia, AMNH 235355–235358 , three males and one female, February through April 1925, Watkins ; San Pedro, AMNH 235724–235728 , four males and one female, January and February 1926, Watkins ; Levanto , AMNH 511541 , 511542 , male and female, November 1894, O.T. Baron. Zimmer tentatively referred two birds from Cumpang to dilutus, but I have not considered these to be paratypes ( ICZN, 1999: 76, Art. 72.4.1) .

David and Gosselin (2002: 264) gave reasons for considering Chlorornis masculine, and this was followed by Dickinson, 2003: 809.
