Buarremon atricapillus Lawrence

Buarremon atricapillus Lawrence, 1874: 396 (thought to be from Bogota).

Now Arremon torquatus atricapillus ( Lawrence, 1874) . See Hellmayr, 1938: 422, Wetmore et al., 1984: 594, Dickinson, 2003: 799, Cadena et al., 2007, Banks et al., 2008: 764–765, Cadena and Cuervo, 2010: 152–176, and Flórez-Rodríguez et al., 2011.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 41058 , adult sex?, ‘‘ Bogota,’’ from Alexander. From the G.N. Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTs: Lawrence apparently had a single specimen: ‘‘Thought to be from Bogota, and from the make-up of the skin I think the supposition is correct.’’

On the original Lawrence label, this specimen was said to have come from [A.H.] Alexander, who was a taxidermist in New York ( Wynne, 1969) from whom Lawrence occasionally obtained specimens. It is also labeled ‘‘Type’’ in Lawrence’s hand.
