Description

Chlorospingus tacarcunae Griscom

Chlorospingus tacarcunae Griscom, 1924a: 11 (Mt. Tacarcuna, east slope, alt. 4600 ft., eastern Panama).

Now Chlorospingus tacarcunae Griscom, 1924. See Hellmayr, 1936: 410–411, Zimmer, 1947b: 2–4, Wetmore et al., 1984: 494–495, Isler and Isler, 1999: 63–64, Dickinson, 2003: 818, and Wier et al., 2008.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 136365, collected on the east slope of Mt. Tacarcuna, 4600 ft, 08.11N, 77.17W (Siegel and Olson, 2008), eastern Panama, on 14 April 1915, by Harold E. Anthony and D.S. Ball (no. 203).

COMMENTS: Griscom gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and examined seven males (including the type) and three females. The nine paratypes are: AMNH 136362–136364, 136366–136370, all collected on Mt. Tacarcuna in March and April 1915 by Anthony and Ball.

Hellmayr (1936: 410–411) considered tacarcunae a subspecies of C. flavigularis, and Zimmer placed it in the species C. ophthalmicus, but most recently it has been retained as a monotypic species. The altitude cited above for the holotype is the altitude printed on the AMNH label and was cited in the original description. The small field label gives the altitude as 5200 ft.
