Pytilus [sic] (Caryothraustes) humeralis Lawrence

Pytilus [sic] (Caryothraustes) humeralis Lawrence, 1867b: 467 ( New Granada, St. Fé de Bogota).

Now Parkerthraustes humeralis (Lawrence, 1867) . See Hellmayr, 1938: 50–51, Remsen, 1997: 89, and Dickinson, 2003: 824.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 41133, unsexed, collected near Bogotá (5 ‘‘St. Fé de Bogota’’), 04.36S, 74.05W ( Paynter, 1997), Cundinamarca, Colombia (5 New Granada), obtained by Lawrence from ‘‘Dr. S.’’ From the George N. Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTS: Apparently, Lawrence had the single specimen, which he may have received on exchange from Sclater or Salvin (5? Dr. S.). The Lawrence label on this specimen has only the locality ‘‘ Bogota,’’ Santa Fé de Bogota being the old name for Bogotá (see Sclater, 1855b: 131).
