* The oldest name for this species is probably Sycalis luteola (Sparrm.). The 

 original specimen figured by Sparrmami is in the Stockholm Museum. Sun- 

 devall says that the same species is in that museum from Caraceas, and that it is 

 identical' with C. minor of Cabanis. There must be some error here, as Sunde- 

 vall speaks of it as being a small form of C. flaveola, whereas C. minor belongs 

 to the C. arvensis group. It is better to drop the name of luteola altogether, and 

 accept those around which no uncertainty hangs. The synonymy of Sparr- 

 mann's bird is as follows : — 



Emberiza luteola, Sparrm. Mas. Carls, ii. pi. 93(1789).
