Treatment

Rhamphocoelus [sic] inexpectatus Rothschild, 1897a: 32 ( Panama) .

Now backcross Ramphocelus icteronotus View in CoL / dimidiatus View in CoL × icteronotus View in CoL . See Hartert, 1919: 149, Griscom, 1932a, Hellmayr, 1936: 266–268, Olson and Violani, 1995: 304–309, and Dickinson, 2003: 806.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 509649 About AMNH , unsexed [male], locality unknown, purchased from K. Dunstall. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Rothschild had the single specimen when this form was described. Based on the method of preparation, the skin was thought to have come from Panama. Griscom (1932a) discussed this form and decided that it represented a hybrid between R. chrysopterus and R. icteronotus (but he considered R. chrysopterus a hybrid between R. flammigerus and R. icteronotus ). Olson and Violani (1995: 304–309) also believed that R. inexpectatus represented a backcross, but between a hybrid R. icteronotus / dimidiatus and R. icteronotus . Hellmayr (1936: 263, footnote) considered inexpectatus to be an ‘‘individual mutation’’ of R. icteronotus .
