Description
Sturnella magna saundersi Dickerman and Phillips
Sturnella magna saundersi Dickerman and Phillips, 1970: 308 (9 km S of Niltepec, Oaxaca, at an elevation of 5–25 m).
Now Sturnella magna saundersi Dickerman and Phillips, 1970. See Dickerman and Parkes, 1997: 231; Dickinson, 2003: 775; and Fraga, 2011: 806–807.
SYNTYPES in AMNH: AMNH 801592 (RWD no. 13260), adult male, AMNH 801595 (RWD no. 13258), immature male, collected 9 km S. Niltepec, 16.33N, 94.35W (Times atlas), Oaxaca, Mexico, on 15 January 1966, by R.W. Dickerman.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Dickerman and Phillips designated 11 syntypes of saundersi, based on their field numbers. Three of the syntypes collected by Dickerman originally came to AMNH. The third syntype, AMNH 801593 (RWD no. 13262), was sent to USNM in November 1973. AMNH 801595 was thought to be uncataloged as the number had not been written on the label, so it was recataloged with the number AMNH 810401. The earlier number is the correct one.
Dickerman and Parkes (1997: 231) listed AMNH 801594 as a syntype of saundersi, but this is incorrect. That specimen bears RWD no. 13263, which was not given for any of the syntypes.
Because syntypes were specifically designated, other specimens have no nomenclatural standing.
