Dacnis ultramarina Lawrence

Dacnis ultramarina Lawrence, 1864b: 106 ( New Granada, Isthmus of Panama).

Now Dacnis cayana ultramarina Lawrence, 1864 . See Hellmayr, 1935: 273–274, Isler and Isler, 1999: 334–336, Wetmore et al., 1984: 520–521, and Dickinson, 2003: 813.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 40374, adult male, AMNH 40375, female [?juv. male], collected in the Isthmus of Panama, undated, by James McLeannan and John Galbraith (nos. 11M and 11F, respectively). From the George N. Lawrence Collection (nos. 373 and 417, respectively).

COMMENTS: In the original description, Lawrence described male and female without giving the number of specimens he examined. The above two specimens came to AMNH with the Lawrence Collection and are marked ‘‘Type’’ by Lawrence . As in the species above, the small tags with sex indicated are apparently McLeannan’s and Galbraith’s field numbers, and I do not know the significance of the numbers written on Lawrence’s labels. The type locality is usually considered to be the Lion Hill Station of the railroad that crossed the Isthmus of Panama, the home station of McLeannan.
