Description
Conirostrum ornatum Lawrence, 1851: 112 (no locality given).
Now Auriparus flaviceps ornatus (Lawrence, 1851). See Webster, 1999: 3, and Madge, 2008: 74.
SYNTYPE: AMNH 39401, unsexed, collected at Brownsville, 25.54N, 97.30W (Times Atlas), Texas, USA, no date, by Capt. J.P. McCown. From the G.N. Lawrence Collection.
COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, Lawrence only saying that he examined two specimens; the above specimen is the only one in AMNH from the Lawrence Collection that was collected before the publication of ornatum, undoubtedly in 1850 when McCown was stationed at Brownsville (Mearns and Mearns, 1992: 301). It is illustrated in Lawrence (1851: pl. 5, fig. 1). The original label is not with this specimen; on the Lawrence label, the number 300 appears, the significance of which is unknown. The publication date of this form is often given as 1852 (e.g., Snow, 1967b: 69); although it was included in volume 5 of the Annals of the Lycaeum of Natural History of New York, dated 1852, the description of ornatum was in part 3, issued in May 1851 (Foster, 1892: 2, and LeCroy, personal observation).
