Description
Molothrus bonairensis aequatorialis Chapman
Molothrus bonairensis aequatorialis Chapman, 1915: 661 (Barbacoas, Narino, southwestern Colombia).
Now Molothrus bonairensis aequatorialis Chapman, 1915. See Hellmayr, 1937: 66; Blake, 1968: 197; Dickinson, 2003: 773; and Fraga, 2011: 786–787.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 118355, adult female, collected at Barbacoas, 01.41N, 78.09W
(Paynter, 1997), Nariño, southwestern Colombia, on 5 August 1912, by William B. Richardson.
COMMENTS: Chapman cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and listed measurements for six males and four females in addition to the holotype. In addition to the birds Chapman measured, there are four specimens that would have been available to him but were either missexed or immature. These 14 specimens, all collected by William B. Richardson, are considered paratypes of aequatorialis: Barbacoas, AMNH 118356, immature sex?, 5 October 1912; Tumaco, AMNH 118357–118359, one male, one female?, one immature male, 28–30 July 1912; Esmeraldas, AMNH 119049–119054, three males, three females, 5 November to 1 December 1912; Manavi, AMNH 120246, male, 16 December 1912, AMNH 120247, male, 14 February 1913, AMNH 125225, ‘‘female’’ in male plumage, 7 March 1913; Daule, AMNH 125224, female, 28 April 1913. Of these AMNH 119053, female from Esmeraldas, was exchanged to ANSP in July 1928. Two additional specimens, AMNH 155194 and 155195, females, were collected by Richardson at Esmeraldas on 26 October and 4 December 1912, but these two specimens were not cataloged until August 1920, after aequatorialis was described, and they are not paratypes; one of these, AMNH 155194, was exchanged to MCZ in July 1928.
See Chapman (1917b: 49–50) for an account of Richardson’s expedition.
