Genus CHLOROSTILBON Gould 



Chlorostilbon insularis Lawrence 



Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. New York 7: 457 (not earlier than February) 1862. 

 =Chlorostilbon aureo-ventris pucherani (Bourcier and Mulsant). See 

 Von Berlepsch, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 11: 564, 1888; Peters, Checklist of 

 birds of the world 5 : 37, 1945. 

 25856. Adult male. Brazil (not Tres Marias Islands). Entered (or re- 

 entered) into the museum register in August 1862 (not collected in 

 July 1861) . Trade-skin of Rio de Janeiro make (not collected by John- 

 Xantus) . 

 The true history of this trade-skin can probably never be known, although 

 it may be safely asserted that the Xantus label it bears does not belong to it. 

 Nos. 25851-25875 are miscellaneous hummingbirds, all but one of which 

 are attributed to Xantus, and five of which are said to have come from the 

 Tres Marias (never visited by Xantus). Of these last, two are Brazilian, 

 while three are Guatemaltecan forms. The Guatemaltecan birds all seem to 

 be reentries of Skinner-made specimens that were received long before from 

 John Gould and cannot now be found under the numbei's originally given 

 them. It is logical to assume that the Brazilian birds likewise represent 

 reentries of old specimens of which the original labels had been lost.
