HOLOTYPE: AMNH 831487 View Materials , male, collected 3 km (2 mi on label) northeast of Nogales , 31.20N, 110.56W (Times Atlas ), Arizona, on 23 April [1954 on label], by Robert W.

COMMENTS: The place of deposit of the holotype was not given in the original description ( Dickerman and Parkes, 1997: 211). This type had been in the Phillips Collection and was presented to AMNH by his estate after his death ( Dickerman and Parkes (1997: 217). Phillips did not list his paratypes.

Browning (1990: 437–438) recommended that subspecies of Corvus cryptoleucus not be recognized until ‘‘the variation among definitely sexed and aged birds’’ is conducted. Subsequent authors have followed his advice.
