Genus QUISCALUS VieiUot 



Quiscalus aeneus Ridgway 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, for 1869: 134, text-fig. 2 (not earlier 

 than June 29), 1869. 

 =Quiscalus quiscula versicolor Vieillot. See Wetmore, Proc. U.S. Nat. 

 Mus. 86 : 230-231, 1939; A.O.U. Checklist of North American Birds, 

 ed. 5, p. 539, 1957. 

 46634. Adult male. Mount Carmel, Wabash County, Illinois. Mar. 30, 

 1867. Collected by Robert Ridgway. Original number 1216. Received 

 from Robert Ridgway. 

 Both Nos. 46634 and 46636 (an adult female) have been labeled by Ridg- 

 way as "Type of species," but the description of this form is based wholly 

 upon the male, and the female must accordingly be considered merely a 

 paratype. Ridgway's text figure purports to be taken from No. 46643; the 

 number given is a misprint for 46634.
