Formicarius pallidus Lawrence, 1882b: 288 (Yucatan).

COMMENTS: For many years, perhaps ever since AMNH acquired the George N. Lawrence Collection, AMNH 43543, collected on the Yucatan Peninsula by George F. Gaumer, has been included in the type collection. It is a Gaumer bird, labeled Yucatan, without further data. However, the description of Formicarius pallidus makes it quite clear that the holotype is in the collection of the Museum of Natural History at the University of Kansas. There is a note on the reverse of the “type label” of AMNH 43543 signed by Charles O’Brien that “according to Richard F. Johnston, Univ. of Kansas, the TYPE is in their Museum, being so marked on the label of their specimen and agreeing with Lawrence’s description. See letter of 1/16/59.” Mark Robbins (personal commun.), Collection Manager in Ornithology, Museum of Natural History, University of Kansas, has confirmed that the type of Formicarius pallidus is no. 2025 in the University of Kansas collection.

Lawrence (1882a: 245) noted that the University of Kansas purchased a full series of Gaumer’s birds and that he had purchased the remnant of this collection, probably including AMNH 43543. The Lawrence labels are not marked “ Type.”

Cory and Hellmayr (1924: 287) listed this taxon as having been named Furnarius pallidus originally. This was apparently a misprint in the original. The bound copy of Lawrence’s paper in the Department of Ornithology Library was originally printed that way but has a printed correction pasted on top. In this particular case, the only difference that it makes is whether or not Lawrence’s name appears in parentheses.

COMMENTS: Turdus brevicaudus Vieillot, 1818 , is preoccupied by Turdus brevicauda Boddaert, 1783 ; Myiothera campanisona Lichtenstein, 1823 , is the next available name (Peters, 1951: 244).

Myioturdus marginatus Wied Myioturdus marginatus Wied, 1831: 1035 (in der Nähe von Arrayal da Conquista).

Now Chamaeza campanisona campanisona (Lichtenstein,

1823). See Cory and Hellmayr, 1924: 291.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 5405, adult male, and AMNH 5406, adult female, collected at Vitória da Conquista, 14°51′S, 40°51′W, Bahia, Brazil, in early 1817, by Maximilian, Prince of Wied. From the Maximilian Collection.

COMMENTS: Because the original labels contain both the names Chamaeza brevicauda Vieillot and Myioturdus marginatus Wied , and the manuscript catalog carries in addition the name Myiothera campanisona Lichtenstein, Wied realized at some point that his name was a synonym. Nevertheless, the name was introduced in his “Beiträge.” As in the previous species, Turdus brevicaudus Vieillot, 1818 , was found to be preoccupied by Turdus brevicauda Boddaert, 1783 ; Myiothera campanisona is the next

In his original description, Wied described a female and a young female. His manuscript catalog entries are of a male and juvenile female, as Allen (1889b: 255) noted, and these agree with the sex notations on the original labels.

A third bird in the AMNH, no. 5404, sexed as a male, has a Maximilian display label but no original Maximilian label. It also has a blank U.S. National Museum label and is cataloged as being from the Verreaux Collection. Allen (1889b: 255) did not include this specimen as a syntype, presumably because of its questionable provenance.

The measurements of Wied’s syntypes are as follows: AMNH 5405, male, wing 100.0, tail 69.5, bill from base 24.0, tarsus 39.0; AMNH 5406, female, wing 100.0, tail 66.5, bill from base 23.0, tarsus 38.5.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 492113 , adult male, collected at “El Guacharo, near Caripé,” Monagas, Venezuela, in January 1894, by Albert Mocquerys (no. 281). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Hellmayr (in Cory and Hellmayr, 1924: 295) doubted “the correctness of the locality; the type probably came from the region above San Esteban, State of Carabobo.” Zimmer and Phelps (1954: 3–6) discussed Mocquerys’s locality and suggested that the specimens with questionable localities might have been collected nearer Puerto Cabello , his shipping port .

Sibley and Monroe (1990: 416) included C. turdina in C. ruficauda .
