TYPE SPECIMENS OF BIRDS 307 



D wight wrote: "Mr. C. H. Townsend has recently described a race from 

 Lower California and kindly permitted me to examine his type." Townsend, 

 not realizing that he had been anticipated, later formally named pallida 

 with No. 117679 as the type. 



Stresemann's dwighti is a renaming of Otocoris alpestris pallida Dwight, 

 preoccupied by Phileremos pallidas Brehm, 1842, and is based upon the 

 same type specimen.
