Description
Pipilo fuscus carolae McGregor
Pipilo fuscus carolae McGregor, 1899c: 11 (Battle Creek, California).
Now Pipilo crissalis crissalis (Vigors, 1839). See Hellmayr, 1938: 463, Ridgway, 1901: 435–436, Kunzmann et al., 2002: 3–4, and Dickinson, 2003: 797.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 368511, male, collected at Battle Creek, California, on 7 November 1898. From the collection of R. McGregor (no. 2200) via the Jonathan Dwight Collection (no. 39652).
COMMENTS: McGregor cited his collection number of the holotype in the original description and had seven specimens from Battle Creek in his collection. The six paratypes are: AMNH 368508–368510, males, and AMNH 368512–368514, females. Dickinson (2003: 797) recognized carolae as a valid subspecies of P. crissalis. For information on McGregor, see Palmer (1928: 287).
There are many places named ‘‘Battle Creek’’ in California; in the original description, McGregor said that his locality was 2 mi from the Sacramento River and that the nearest post office was Ball’s Ferry. Ball’s Ferry is at ca. 40.30N, 122.18W.
