534 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 221 



17899. Adult (apparently male). Cartagena, Department of Bolivar, 

 Colombia. Entered into the museum register on July 23, 1860. Col- 

 lected by Arthur C. V. Schott. Original number 46. U.S. Survey of 

 the Rio Atrato. 

 The name erithachorides was not considered new by Baird; he simply 

 applied a name of Feuillee's, cited by Vieillot, to a specimen from Cartagena 

 that seemed to agree with Feuillee's description. Feuillee's name was, how- 

 ever, pre-Linnaean and thus without standing in zoological nomenclature 

 until Baird unwittingly validated it in 1858 for the bird of Colombia. At 

 that date, only two examples of the race had been received at Washington 

 from Schott, and only No. 10211 had "the entire head all round of a brown- 

 ish orange"; therefore it alone can be considered the type of erithachorides 

 Baird. 



Feuillee's name was considered valid enough by Cassin, but since the latter 

 felt that it had been misapplied by Baird, he gave the bird of Cartagena the 

 new name Dendroica Vieilloti. He also described only the adult male, but 

 by 1860 a second such specimen (No. 17899) had been received from Schott 

 and immediately sent to Cassin in Philadelphia, even before it had been 

 entered into the museum register; Cassin thus had two cotypes when he 

 named Vieilloti. 



[Dendroeca petechia] i) panamensis? Sundevall seems to represent a 

 merely capricious renaming of Dendroica Vieilloti Cassin, and therefore must 

 be held to have the same two cotypes. 

 Dendroica Vieillotii, var. Bryanli Ridgway 

 American Naturalist 7 (10) : 606, October 1873. 

 =Dendroica petechia hryanti Ridgway. See Hellmayr, Catalogue of 



birds of the Americas 8: 379, 1935. 

 39254. Adult (apparently male). Celestiin, State of Yucatan, Mexico. 

 June 12, 1865. Collected by Arthur C. V. Schott. Original number 

 474. Comision Cientifica de Yucatan. 

 74626. Adult male. Belize, British Honduras. 1866? Collected by 

 Christopher D. Wood, for Karl H. Berendt. Original number 82. 

 Received from Henry Bryant, in whose private collection it was No. 

 590. 

 80084. Adult male. BeUze, British Honduras. 1866? Collected (by 



Christopher D. Wood?) for Karl H. Berendt. 

 177200. Adult male. Belize, British Honduras. 1866? Collected (by 



Christopher D. Wood?) for Karl H. Berendt. 

 This name was based upon a series of males from "Mexico, from Hon- 

 duras (Dr. Bryant) and Yucatan (Dr. Schott) to Mazatlan (Col. Grayson)," 

 and no specimen was mentioned as the type. Grayson's birds from Sinaloa 

 now belong with the race castaneiceps and need no further consideration 

 here. 



The possible cotypes of true bryanti are Nos. 39254, 39255, 39256, 44826, 

 74626, 80084, and 177200.
