Description

Phrygilus unicolor tucumanus Chapman

Phrygilus unicolor tucumanus Chapman, 1925a: 4 (above Tafi del Valle, 9500 ft., Prov. Tucuman, Argentina).

Now Phrygilus unicolor tucumanus Chapman, 1925. See Hellmayr, 1938: 353, and Dickinson, 2003: 788.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 142463, adult female, collected above Tafi del Valle, 9500 ft, 26.52S, 65.41W (Paynter, 1995), Tucumán, Argentina, on 4 April 1916, by Leo E. Miller and Howarth S. Boyle (no. 15959).

COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed 17 specimens that he examined, all from the type locality. The 16 paratypes are in AMNH: AMNH 142449– 142462, 142465, 142466, collected 1–4 April 1916. AMNH 142464 had been exchanged to BIM in 1923 and returned to AMNH in 1935 when the entire BIM bird collection was donated to AMNH; therefore it was not available to Chapman when he described tucumanus in 1925 and is not a paratype.
