Tangara cyaneicollis [sic] gularis Chapman

Tangara cyaneicollis [sic] gularis Chapman, 1919b: 332 (Candamo, Tropical Zone, S.E. Peru).

Now Tangara cyanicollis cyanicollis (d’Orbigny and Lafresnaye, 1837) . See Hellmayr, 1936: 121–122, Zimmer, 1943c: 11, Isler and Isler, 1999: 313–314, and Dickinson, 2003: 812.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 146510 , adult male, collected at Candamo , tropical zone, 13.31S, 69.41W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983), Puno, Peru, on 10 December 1916, by Harry Watkins (no. 417).

COMMENTS: Chapman gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed the specimens he examined. The paratypes in AMNH are: Santo Domingo, AMNH 146508, female; La Pampa, AMNH 146509, male; Candamo, AMNH 146511, male; Astillero, AMNH 146512, female. La Pampa seems to be an uncertain locality, and the male from there was probably included with Candamo specimens by Chapman (1919b: 332), from which place he listed three males (including the type). Zimmer (1943c: 12) listed two males (including the type) from Candamo and a male from La Pampa. A male specimen from Rio San Miguel was also listed by Chapman as part of his type series. It was probably collected by Heller, who collected other specimens from Rio San Miguel and it may be among the specimens from Yale University–National Geographic Society Expeditions that went to USNM.

Chapman (1921b) reported on the birds collected on the Yale University–National Geographic Society Expeditions to the Urubamaba Valley, Peru, which Chapman and Watkins joined for a short time. According to correspondence in the Archives, Department of Ornithology, AMNH, Chapman had an agreement with Yale University to identify all of the bird specimens collected, and in return AMNH was to receive a subset of the specimens, most of which were to be deposited at USNM. On 30 July 1921, 150 specimens were cataloged at AMNH and marked as an exchange to AMNH from USNM, but they had never been cataloged at USNM.
