 G[eothIypis (Chamaethlypis) ]. palpebralis Ridgway 

 Manual of North American birds, p. 526, September 1887. 

 = Geothlypis poliocephala palpebralis Ridgway. See Wetmore, Proc. 



U.S. Nat. Mus. 95: 73, 1944; Miller, Auk 36: 290-291, 1919. 

 44743. Adult male. Hacienda "Mirador" (near Huatusco, west of Vera- 

 cruz), State of Vera Cruz, Mexico. Aug. 24, 18- (entered into the 

 museum register on Dec. 4, 1866) . Collected by Carl C. W. Sartorius. 

 Original number 307. 

 Ridgway had specimens from "Eastern Mexico (Mirador, etc.)" and 

 from "Yucatan (Merida)." Wetmore {loc. cit.) , restricting the name 

 palpebralis to the population of Vera Cruz, points out that those of Cam- 

 peche and Yucatan probably represent a distinct form. Ridgway's birds 

 from Merida may therefore no longer properly be considered cotypes. I 

 find in the museum only one of the skins from Vera Cruz examined by 

 Ridgway. 



No. 44743 at some time entered Ridgway's private collection and carries 

 his label, as well as Sartorius's original one. 

 [G(eothlypis). poliocephala] p. caninucha Ridgway 



American Journal of Science and Arts (3)4(24) : 459, December 

 1872. 

 =Geothlypis poliocephala caninucha Ridgway. See Wetmore, Proc. 



U.S. Nat. Mus. 95: 73, 1944; Miller, Auk 36: 290-291, 1919. 

 30677. Adult (sex not indicated). Retalhuleu, Department of Retal 

 Huleu, Guatemala. September 1862. Collected by Osbert Salvin. 

 Original number 198. Received from Osbert Salvin and Frederick 

 Du C. Godman. 

 Ridgway had specimens from Guatemala and Costa Rica, but all from 

 the latter region are now held to belong with another race and are no 

 longer to be considered cotypes. No. 30677 seems to have been his only 

 skin from Guatemala.
