SUMMARY OF CHANGES. 393 



Cardinalis Bonaparte, 1838, becomes Richmondcna Mathews and Iredale, 

 1918. 

 The former is rendered invalid by Cardinalis Jarocki, 1821, which is a 

 synonym of Piranga, and must be replaced by Richmondcna, the earliest 

 name available. (Cf. Mathews and Iredale, Austral Avian Record, III, 

 No. 6, June 25, 1918, 145.) (p. 312) 



Zamelodia Coues, 1880, becomes Hcdymelcs Cabanis, 1851. 



It is held that the latter is not invalidated by Hedymcla Sundevall, 1847, 

 as formerly supposed, and must replace Zamelodia as it has many years 

 priority. (Cf. Oberholser, Auk, XXXVI, 1919, 115.) (p. 314J 



Astragalinus has been combined with Spimis. (p. 326) 



Loxia curvirostra minor (Brbhm), 1846, becomes L. c. piisilla Gloger, 1834. 

 On grounds of priority. (Cf. Stresemann, Ornith. Monatsb., XXX, 1922, 

 41.) (p. 328) 



Oreospiza Ridgway, 1896, becomes Oberholseri-a Richmond, 1915. 



The former is invalidated by Orcospiza Keitel, 1857, and Obrrholseria 

 must replace it as the first available name. (Cf. Richmond, Proc. Biol. 

 Soc. Wash., XXVIII, 1915, 180.) (p. 329) 



Pipilo crissalis crissalis (Vigors), 1S3'.), becomes P.fu^cus crissalis. 



Pipilo crissalis senicnla Anthony, 1895, becomes P. fuscus senicula. 



The former species crissalis and fuscus are now considered to differ only 

 subspecifically and all races of the former now become subspecies of the 

 latter. (Cf. Oberholser, Condor, XXI, 1919, 211.) (p. 332) 



Passerherbuhis lecontei (Audubon), 1844, becomes P. caudacutus (Latham), 

 1790. On grounds of priority. It should be pointed out that Latham's 

 name proposed as Fringilla caudacuta is an entirely original and separate 

 description and has nothing to do with Oriolus caudacutus proposed and 

 adopted for the Sharp-tailed Sparrow. (Cf. Oberholser, Proc. Biol. Soc. 

 Wash., XXXII, 1919, 47.) (p. 337) 



Passerherbulus henslowi hensloivi (Audubon), 1829, becomes P. h. susurrans 

 Brewster, 1918. 



Passerherbulus henslowi occidentalis (Brewster), 1891, becomes P. h. henslowi. 

 The type specimen of henslowi proves to belong to the western and not 

 the eastern race and the name must be transferred accordingly and 

 susurrans be adopted for the eastern form as the earliest available name. 

 (Cf. Brewster, Proc. New Engl. Zool. Club, VI, Feb. 6, 1918, 78.) (p. 337) 



Passerherbidns has been divided and /'. caudacutus and maritimus with their 

 subspecies are referred to Ammospiza. (p. 338) 



Passerherbulus nelsoni nelsoni (Allen), 1875, becomes ^1. caudacuta nelsoni.
