Now Basileuterus culicivorus segrex J.T. Zimmer and W.H. Phelps, Sr., 1949b: 1. See Lowery and
Monroe, 1968: 68; Curson, 2010b: 793; and Lovette et al., 2010: 765–766.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 237060, adult male, collected at Paulo, ca. 05.08N, 60.49W (Paynter, 1982), Mount Roraima, 4000 ft, Bolívar, Venezuela, on 4 November 1927, by T. Donald Carter (no. 553), on the Lee Garnett Day Expedition.
COMMENTS: Zimmer and Phelps gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed the specimens they examined. The following paratypes are in AMNH: Paulo, AMNH 237059, 237061– 237067, seven males, one female, collected October–November 1927, by Carter; Arubupú, AMNH 237053–237058, four males, one male?, one female, collected December 1927 – January 1928, by Carter. Additional paratypes listed are in CP.
Soon after B. c. roraimae was described, it was found to be preoccupied by B. roraimae Sharpe, 1885, and Zimmer and Phelps (1949b: 1) provided the replacement name, B. c. segrex. The two names share the same type.
