Spermophila intermedia insularis Gilliard, 1946: 571 (Princestown, Trinidad).

Now Sporophila intermedia intermedia Cabanis, 1851 . See Paynter, 1970b: 135, Stiles, 1996, and Dickinson, 2003: 792.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 59106 View Materials , adult male, collected at Princestown , 10.16N, 61.23W (Times Atlas), Trinidad, on 1 March 1893, by Frank M. Chapman (no. 2758). GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Gilliard cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and based his description on adult males only, of which he listed 14 from Trinidad ( Gilliard, 1946: 574). The 13 paratypes are: ‘‘ Trinidad,’’ AMNH 41265 View Materials ; Princestown , AMNH 59105 View Materials ; Caparo , AMNH 514427– 514431 View Materials ; Valencia , AMNH 514432 View Materials , 514437 View Materials ; Leelet , AMNH 514433 View Materials , 514434 View Materials ; Point Gourde , AMNH 514435 View Materials ; and Chaguaramas , AMNH 514436 View Materials . Gilliard (1946: 574) said that the two males he listed from Princestown included the type ; however, there are three specimens collected by Chapman in Princestown in 1903. The label on the third specimen, AMNH 59107 View Materials , is stamped ‘‘First Series,’’ which indicates that it was part of the reference series that Zimmer had separated out from the main collection to use while working on Peruvian birds. This series was in active use by Zimmer in 1946, when this form was named, and it is possible that Gilliard did not see it. I have not considered AMNH 59107 View Materials a paratype of insularis .
