404 NOVITATES ZOOLOGIOAE XXIX. 1922. 



1143. Phaethornis mexicanus Hart. = Phoethornis longirostris mexicanus, 



Phaethornis mexicanus Hartert, Ibis, 1897, p. 425 (Chilpanoingo and Jalisco in Mexico). 



Type : adult, dos Arroyos, Chilpancingo, Guerrara, Mexico. 0. T. Baron leg. 



1144. Phoethomis aflSnis ochraceiventris Hellm. = Phoethornis holivianus 



ochraceiventris. 



Phoethornis affinis ochraceiventris Hellmayr, Bull. B.O. Club, xix. p. 54 (February 1907 — Humaytha, 

 left bank of Rio Madeira, Brazil). 



Type: adult, Humaytha, 23. viii. 1906. W. Hoffmanns leg. No. 1147. 



(Hellmayr, Novitates Zoologicae, 1907, p. 393, corrected his mistake in 

 adopting the name " affinis." Simon, Trochil. pp. 12, 254, makes this form a 

 subspecies of holivianus, and I adopt this course.) 



1145. Phoethomis rupurumii amazonicus HeHm. = Phoethornis rupurumii 



amazonicus. 



Phoethornis rupurumii amazonicus Hellmayr, Bull. B.O. Club, xvi. p. 82 (1906 — Itaituba and Uracuri- 

 tuba near Santarem, Lower Amazons River^. 



Type : ?, Itaituba, near Santarem, 19. i. 1906. W. Hoffmanns leg. No. 468. 

 (Of Trochilus squalidus Natterer = Phoethornis squalidus we have one of 

 the cotypes from Ypanema, exchanged from the Vienna Museum.) 



1146. Phaethornis stuarti Hart. = Phoethornis stuarti. 

 Phaethornis stuarti Hartert, Bull. B.O. Club, vi. p. 39 (1897 — Salinas, Beni River, eastern Bolivia). 

 Type : Salinas, Beni River, July 1895. A. MaxweU Stuart leg. 



f 1147. Eutoxeres baroni E. & CI. Hart. = Eutoxeres aquila heterura. 

 Eutoxeres baroni Ernst & Claudia Hartert, Nov. Zool. i. p. 54 and fig. (1894 — ^W. Ecuador). 



Type : ? ad., Rio Pescado, near Naranjal, W. Ecuador. 0. T. Baron leg. 



(The extent of the white tips to the rectrices varies and specimens with 

 more or less white occur in the same places. E. baroni cannot any longer be 

 considered a species nor a subspecies of E. aquila.) 



1148. Phaethornis berlepschi E. & CI. Hart. = Phoethornis syrmatophorus 



berlepschi. 



Phaethornis berlepschi Ernst & Claudia Hartert, Nov. Zool. i. p. 66 (1894 — Rio Pescado, western 

 Ecuador). 



Type : <S ad., Rio Pescado, W. Ecuador, January. 0. T. Baron leg. 



(Simon, Hellmayr, Cory, Chapman, and others are of opinion that we re- 

 named Gould's syrmatophorus. I would very much like to agree with my brother 

 ornithologists, but must, to my regret, be of the opposite opinion. In P. s. 

 berlepschi the rump is hke the back and only the upper tail-coverts are ferruginous, 

 while in Gould's description it is said that " rump and upper tail-coverts " are 

 rufous, and the figure in the tflumming Birds, i, besides the rufous rump, has the 

 deeper ferruginous colour of the East Ecuadorian form. I therefore think that 

 the above-named authorities are wrong, and that our nomenclature of 1894 should 

 be adopted, except that the two forms are of course subspecies of one species.)
