Description

Nemosia pileata surinamensis J.T. Zimmer

Nemosia pileata surinamensis J.T. Zimmer, 1947a: 5 (near Paramaribo, Surinam).

Now Nemosia pileata surinamensis J.T. Zimmer, 1947. See Storer, 1970: 276, and Dickinson, 2003: 803.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 511112, adult male, collected near Paramaribo, Surinam, on 14 May 1899, from W.A. Penard. From the Rothschild Collection.

COMMENTS: Zimmer cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed the specimens he examined (Zimmer, 1947a: 6). Paratypes are: Demarara, Guyana, AMNH 511103, 511104, two [males]; Little Wanica, Surinam, AMNH 511105, 511106, females; near Paramaribo, Surinam, AMNH 96445, 96446, 313675, 313676, 511107– 511111, 511113, eight males and two females.

[Hylophilus caeruleus Wied and

H. cyanoleucus Wied]

Allen (1889b: 220–221) discussed these two names, with H. caeruleus as the female and H. cyanoleucus as the male of Nemosia pileata pileata; these names were introduced by Wied (1831: 731 and 734, respectively). Hellmayr (1936: 368) agreed with Allen’s determination. Hylophilus caeruleus was recognized by Storer (1970: 277) as Nemosia pileata caerulea. No specimens were found in the Wied Collection that might have served as his types.
