Camarhynchus incertus Ridgway, 1896a: 294 (James Island).

Now Camarhynchus psittacula psittacula Gould, 1837 View in CoL . See Hellmayr, 1938: 138, and Dickinson, 203: 796.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 518058 View Materials , female, collected on Santiago (5 San Salvador or James) Island, 00.14S, 90.45W ( Paynter, 1993), Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, on 13 August 1891. From the Baur Collection (no. 521) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Baur’s unique field number of the holotype was given in the original description with no information provided on the size of the type series. Ridgway (1896b: 560) noted that the male was unknown. The holotype bears three labels: an unnumbered USNM type label filled in by Ridgway, a Rothschild type label with Baur’s field number and reference to the original description, and Baur’s original label with full data. It was the single Baur specimen of this form that came to AMNH.
