Buarremon rufigenis Salvin

Buarremon rufigenis Salvin, 1895: 5 , pl. 1, fig. 2 (Huamachuco, Cajabamba).

Now Atlapetes rufigenis rufigenis ( Salvin, 1895) . See Hellmayr, 1938: 403, Paynter, 1970b: 199, Dickinson, 2003: 801, and Schulenberg et al., 2007: 606.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 519569 , female, and AMNH 519570 , adult male, collected at Huamachuco , 10,400 ft, 07.48S, 78.04W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983), La Libertad, Peru, in February 1894 ; AMNH 519572 , adult male, collected at Cajabamba, 11,000 ft, 07.37S, 78.03W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983), Cajamarca, Peru, on 2 April 1894, all by O.T. Baron .

COMMENTS: In his report on Baron’s 1894 expedition to Peru, Salvin (1895) did not designate types but noted ( Salvin, 1895: 1) that the collection was partly in the Rothschild Collection (now in AMNH) and partly in the Salvin and Godman Collection (now in BMNH). Of rufigenis , there are four syntypes in BMNH ( Warren and Harrison, 1971: 478) in addition to the three in AMNH. While all three AMNH specimens are syntypes, AMNH 519569 and 519572 were marked ‘‘Co-type’’ by Salvin, even though they were not listed by Hartert in any of his lists of types in the Rothschild Collection and did not bear Rothschild type labels. Dickinson (2003: 801) has accorded full species status to both A. r. rufigenis and A. r. forbesi .
