Pheugopedius mystacalis amaurogaster Chapman

Pheugopedius mystacalis amaurogaster Chapman,

1914a: 179 (Buena Vista (above Villavicencio), alt.

4500 feet, Eastern Andes, Colombia).

Now Thryothorus mystacalis amaurogaster (Chapman,

1914). See Brewer and MacKay, 2001: 141.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 122481 , adult male, collected at Buenavista , 04°10′N, 73°41′W ( Paynter, 1997: 49), above Villavicencio, 4500 feet, Meta, Colombia, on 4 March 1913, by George K. Cherrie (no. 16373).

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the type was cited in the original description. The seven paratypes are: AMNH 39504 (a ‘‘Bogota´’’ specimen from the George N. Lawrence Collection), 122478–122480, and 122482–122484. AMNH 122479 was exhanged to the Rothschild Museum in May 1921, then returned to AMNH with that Collection, and inadvertently recataloged as AMNH 502768 ; AMNH 122478 was exchanged on 20 September 1918 to Outram Bangs, whose collection is now in MCZ ; AMNH 122483 was excanged to BMNH in May 1921, now BMNH Reg. No. 1921.7.3.73 (M. Walters, personal commun.) .

Many authors consider amaurogaster to be a subspecies of Thryothorus genibarbis .
