Geothlypis speciosa Sclater, 1858

1858 Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 26: 447.

Now Geothlypis speciosa Sclater, 1858 .

Two specimens were previously designated as types: MHNG 755.094 (male), suggested as “cotype” by Hellmayr (1942: 507), and MHNG 755.096 (female), suggested as probable paratype by Baud (1977: 219). However they cannot belong to the type series defined by Sclater, who referred to three specimens of the NHM obtained by exchange from the MHNG (“ an adult male, a young male and a female ”, Sclater, 1858: 447). The NHM still has two of these syntypes (the adult male and the female) (Warren & Harrison, 1971: 521).
