[ Tanagra flammiceps Wied ]

Allen (1889b: 220) thought that AMNH 4504, bearing no original Wied label, was ‘‘almost unquestionably one of Wied’s original specimens.’’ This is probably true, but the name Tanagra flammiceps , although a Wied manuscript name, was first proposed by Temminck (1823, pl. 177) and considerably before the date of Wied’s (1830: 497 [not 407]) description cited by Allen. The types are in RMNH ( Hellmayr, 1936: 300; Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 35). The AMNH specimen, purchased from the family, has no nomenclatural standing. Now considered a synonym of Habia rubica rubica (Vieillot, 1817) .
