[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.
