Family PIPRIDAE: Manakins 



Genus PIPRA Linnaeus 



Pipra suavissima Salvin and Godman 

 Ibis (4) 6 (21) : 79, pi. 1, January 1882. 

 =Pipra serena suavissima Salvin and Godman. See Hellmayr, Catalogue 

 of birds of the Americas 6: 24, 1929. 



90557. Adult male. Merume Mountains, British Guiana. July 12, 1881. 

 Collected by Henry Whitely, Jr. Received from Osbert Salvin and 

 Frederick DuC. Godman. 



90558. Adult female. Merume Mountains, British Guiana. July 12, 

 1881. Collected by Henry Whitely, Jr. Received from Osbert Salvin 

 and Frederick DuC. Godman. 



This form was described from "a good series of specimens," both male 

 and female. Five skins from the Merume Mountains, now in the British 

 Museum, are considered "Types of the species" (Catalogue of the birds in 

 the British Museum 14: 301, 1888), but our examples have an equal claim, 

 as do the three there listed from Bartica Grove, and, possibly, the two 

 Merume specimens derived from the Sclater Collection.

Archiv fur Naturgeschichte 10 (1) : 271, 1844.

 41924. Adult male. Peru=Valley of Vitoc, Department of Junin (see

 Hellmayr has not claimed to have examined any one of von Tschudi's 

 original examples at Neuchatel.
