Diglossa duidae Chapman

Diglossa duidae Chapman, 1929b: 26 (Mt. Duida, Venezuela, 6000 ft.).

Now Diglossa duidae duidae Chapman, 1929 . See Hellmayr, 1935: 236, Vuilleumier, 1969, Isler and Isler, 1999: 364, and Dickinson, 2003: 817.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 245938 , adult male, collected on Cerro Duida (5 Mt. Duida), 6000 ft, 03.25N, 65.40W ( Paynter, 1982), Amazonas, Venezuela, on 23 January 1929, by the Olalla brothers on the Tyler Duida Expedition.

COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and said that he examined 49 specimens of the new species, apparently in addition to the type, from 550 ft (2), 3250 ft (2), 4700 ft (25), 5000–5500 ft (10), and 6000– 6700 ft (10). He did not list any specimens from 5800 ft, and these have not been included in the paratypes here listed. The only paratype I found from 550 ft was AMNH 271849 . This specimen was originally identified as Diglossa duidae , but was later found to be a specimen of Thamnomanes caesius glaucus and resides with that form in the AMNH collection. The two paratypes from 3250 ft are AMNH 271842 and 271843, the latter of which was exchanged to Colección Phelps in August 1940. The 25 paratypes from 4700 ft are: AMNH 271813–271815 , 271817–271821 , 271845 , 271848 , 271852 , 271854– 271857 , 271864 , 271873–271875 , 271883–271886 , 271889 , and 271891. Of these, AMNH 271814 was exchanged to ANSP in May 1937, and AMNH 271875 was exchanged to Colección Phelps in April 1985. There were 18 specimens noted as having been collected between 5000 and 5500 ft, all of which I have considered paratypes, as they would have been available to Chapman: AMNH 271834 , 271836–271840 , 271847 , 271859 , 271862 , 271863 , 271865 , 271867–271869 , 271872 , 271876 , 271878 , and 271881. Of these the following were exchanged: AMNH 271859 to Colección Phelps in August 1940, AMNH 271862 to ANSP in May 1937, AMNH 271872 to BMNH in June 1930, and AMNH 271881 to USNM in September 1930 ; I did not find AMNH 271868 in the collection. The ten paratypes from 6000– 6700 ft are: AMNH 270305 , 271812 , 271841 , 271846 , 271850 , 271851 , 271858 , 271877 , 271879 , and 271890. Of these, AMNH 270305 was presented to MCZ in May 1930 on behalf of Sydney Tyler, Jr, and AMNH 271858 was exchanged to Colección Phelps in August 1940 .

The holotype of D. duidae was collected at Camp 15 on Mt. Duida. Chapman (1931) analyzed the zonal distribution of the birds collected on mts. Roraima and Duida. Tate and Hitchcock (1930) reported on the Mt. Duida region.
