Myrmotherula multostriata [sic] australis Chapman ,

1923b: 4 (Rio Inambari, 70°15′W, 13°55′S, alt. 2200 ft.,

Peru).

Now Myrmotherula longicauda australis Chapman, 1923 .

See Peters, 1951: 191.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 132714 , adult female, collect- ed on Río Inambari , 2200 ft, Puno, Peru, on 3 April 1915, by Harry and Casimir Watkins (no. 74).

COMMENTS: The coordinates given above are those written by the Watkinses on the field label. There is some confusion in the literature about the exact locality at which the Watkinses collected. The collection they made in 1915, for which there are no field notes in the Department of Ornithology Archives , consisted of 185 specimens. They collect- ed between 3 March and 9 May at the Río Inambari and between 17 May and 12 June at the Río Távara , 13°25′S, 70°20′W, at 1600 ft, according to their labels. Vaurie (1972: 32) gave the coordinates of the latter as 13°22′S, 69°36′W ; but he did not give coordinates for Río Inambari. It seems the Watkinses were definitely in the Department of Puno when they were collecting .

Only two specimens of this taxon, both females, were collected by the Watkinses on the Río Inambari. AMNH 132714, collected 3 April 1915, was designated holotype; however, the type label was put on AMNH 132713, collected 10 March 1915. This error has now been corrected.

Chapman’s description of this subspecies in the species “ multostriata ” was evidently a lapsus. In the list of specimens examined, he correctly listed it as M. longicauda australis .

(lower Río Suno, eastern Ecuador).

Now Myrmotherula hauxwelli suffusa Zimmer, 1932 . See

Peters, 1951: 191.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 184608 , adult [female], collected on the lower Río Suno , Napo, Ecuador, on 7 March 1924, by Carlos Olalla and sons.

COMMENTS: The translation of the Olallas’ itinerary in the Department of Ornithology, p. 23, gives the following information: “March 5 [1924] we left [Avila] reaching that day the town of Loreto; the 6th after forced marching we reached the hot part of the Suno River, that is, at the Mouth of the Huataraco River where it empties into the Suno River. We collected in this locality from March 7 to 24. The temperature recorded from March 7 to 24 was taken here, and the specimens collected in this locality are labeled ‘Rio Suno Abajo’.” There is a notation in the itinerary that the Río Huataraco is now the Río Guataracu.

In the description, the type was listed as female without comment. Although it does appear to be an adult female, it was sexed as male by the Olallas.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 43419, male, and AMNH 43411, female, collected on the old Panama railway, Atlantic Slope, Isthmus of Panama, Panama, by James McLeannan and John R. Galbraith. From the George N. Lawrence Collection.

COMMENTS: The description of this form refers back to no. 215 in part 2 of Lawrence’s (1861c: 325) catalog of his Panama collection, where a male and a female are listed. Both of these specimens have the number “215” and “ type ” written on the label. The type locality is given in the introduction to that paper.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 178385 , adult male, collected on the upper Río Suno , Napo, Ecuador, on 2 February 1923, by Alfonso M. and Ramón Olalla.

COMMENTS: The translated itinerary of the Olallas in the Department of Ornithology (p. 19) describes this locality as follows: “the 28th [January 1923] we reached the town of Avila, the 29th after a three hour march we reached the Suno River, between the towns of San Jose Nuevo and Avila. The collections were made there.... March 8 we left the forests close to the Suno River, after four hours marching we reached the town of San Jose Nuevo, where we stopped, hunting that afternoon till the 17th of the same month. The 18th we reached a place called Almorzadero; the 19th we reached San Jose Viejo and started collecting.... The 22nd we intended ascending the Cerro Sumaco, but the rain being heavy and continuous we returned to San Jose Nuevo.... We remained in San Jose Nuevo till March 31, that afternoon we reached the camp at Rio Suno and continued collecting till April 25.... April 26 we reached the Huataraco [= Guataracu] River....”

Paynter (1993: 185) gave the coordinates of San Jose Nuevo as 00°26′S, 77°20′W, and of Avila as 00°38′S, 77°25′W.
