Saltator immaculatus Berlepsch and Stolzmann

Saltator immaculatus Berlepsch and Stolzmann, 1892: 375 (Lima et d’Ica).

Now Saltator striatipectus immaculatus Berlepsch and Stolzmann, 1892 . See Hartert 1919: 155, Hellmayr, 1938: 43–44, and Dickinson, 2003: 825.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 515928, adult male, 16 September 1889, and AMNH 515929, female, 23 October 1889, both collected at Lima, 12.03S, 77.03W ( Stephens and Traylor, 1983), Peru, by J. Kalinowski (nos. 62 and 197, respectively). From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Kalinowski collected eight specimens of this form in September and October 1889 at Lima and d’Ica, and it was described by Berlepsch and Stolzmann without designating a type. The above two specimens in AMNH were marked ‘‘typus’’ by the authors. Hartert (1919: 375) listed only the male as a cotype (5 syntype) ; the second syntype has been added to the type collection. There are also two syntypes present in MIZ and two additional ones that are lost (Mlíkovsky´, 2009: 141). A third specimen, AMNH 515930 , was collected by Kalinowski at Lima on 14 November 1889, but because only September and October specimens were included in the type series, this specimen has no type standing, nor is it marked ‘‘typus.’’
