Atlapetes duidae Chapman

Atlapetes duidae Chapman, 1929b: 26 (Cerros de Savanna, 4700 ft., tableland, Mt. Duida, Venezuela).

Now Atlapetes personatus duidae Chapman, 1929 . See Hellmayr, 1938: 410, Ridgely and Tudor, 1989: 432, Dickinson, 2003: 800.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 245936 , adult male, collected on Savanna Hills (5 Cerros de Savanna ), 4700 ft, ca. 03.25N, 65.38W ( Paynter, 1982), Mt. Duida, Amazonas, Venezuela, on 27 February 1929, by the Olalla brothers on the Tyler Duida Expedition.

COMMENTS: Chapman gave the AMNH number of the holotype, examining 10 males and two females from Mount Duida. The 11 paratypes are: AMNH 271760–271770, eight males, two females, one sex? [apparently considered a male by Chapman], 4800–6200 ft, 20 December 1928 – 14 February 1929. Of these, AMNH 271765, male, and AMNH 271768, female, were exchanged to the Colección Phelps in August 1939. See Chapman (1931) for a joint report on the Lee Garnett Day Expedition to Mt. Roraima and the Tyler Duida Expedition to Mt. Duida. Tate and Hitchcock (1930) reported on the Mt. Duida region.

Because the molecular studies of Cadena et al. (2007) and Flórez-Rodriguez et al. (2011) have not always shown ‘‘ Buarremon ’’ species to be monophyletic, they are retained in the expanded genus Arremon .
