Cyanocompsa cyanea caucae Chapman, 1912: 163(La Manuelita near Palmira, alt. 3500 ft., CaucaValley, Colombia). Now Cyanocompsa brissoni caucae Chapman, 1912. See Hellmayr, 1938: 104–105, Paynter, 1970d: 239, and Dickinson, 2003: 825.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 109175, adult male, collected at La Manuelitanear Palmira, alt. 3500 ft, 03.35N, 76.17W( Paynter, 1997), Valle del Cauca, Colombia, on 14 April 1911by Frank M. Chapmanand William B. Richardson.
COMMENTS: Chapman gave the AMNHnumber of the holotypein the original description, noting that he had seven specimens, including the type. The six paratypesare: AMNH 107345–107349, two males, one immaturemale, and two females, collected at Caldas, 2000 ft, between 18 and 29 November 1910; and AMNH 109176, female, collected at Palmira, 11 April 1911. Paynter (1970d: 239)included both the genera Guiracaand Cyanocompsain the genus Passerina. To avoid the resulting nomenclatural confusion that would have resulted from this merger, the ICZN (1979: 24–26) suppressed the specific name cyaneaas published in the binomen Loxia cyaneaLinnaeus, 1758[5 Cyanocompsa cyanea] for the purposes of both the Law of Priority and the Law of Homonymy in order to conserve the widely used name Passerina cyanea(Linnaeus, 1766)for the North American Indigo Bunting. The next available name for the South American Indigo Bunting, published as Fringilla brissonii Lichtenstein, 1823, was at that time placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology with Name Number 2662, typelocality Bahia, Brazil, and is now the correct specific name to use.
