Description
Agelaius xanthophthalmus Short
Agelaius xanthophthalmus Short, 1969: 1 (15 km north-northeast of Tingo María, 4 km north of the Tulumayo River, and about 2 km northwest of the village of Pumahuasi, elevation approximately 2150 feet, Depto. Huánuco, Perú).
Now Agelasticus xanthophthalmus (Short, 1969). See Johnson and Lanyon, 1999; Dickinson, 2003: 772; Eaton, 2006; Schulenberg et al., 2010: 628; and Fraga, 2011: 797.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 789778, adult male, collected at 15 km north-northeast of Tingo María, 4 km north of the Tulumayo River, and ca. 2 km northwest of Pumahuasi, ca. 2150 ft, ca. 09.04S, 75.40W (Stephens and Traylor, 1983), Huánuco, Peru, on 17 August 1968, by Lester L. Short (no. 2999).
COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was cited in the original description. The type series comprised two specimens; the second specimen, the paratype, is AMNH 789779, female, collected on the same day at the type locality. In the original description, Short designated this bird an allotype of xanthophthalmus. According to the Code (ICZN, 1999: 75), ‘‘The term ‘allotype’ may be used to indicate a specimen of opposite sex to the holotype; an ‘allotype’ has no namebearing function.’’
In addition to Agelaius, this species has been included in the genera Chrysomus (Dickinson, 2003: 772) and Agelasticus (Fraga, 2011: 797).
