Cyclarhis gujanensis canticus

content: The word "Type" is written on the back of the tag in Sclater's handwriting. This is likely one of the specimens used by Sclater (1859) in his description of C.g.flavipectus, at which time emcompassed populations in Trinidad and the mainland- from Venezuela to Colombia. Later revisions have restricted the range of flavipectus to Trinidad and a new subspecies, C.g.canticus, was erected for the Colombian populations (Bangs 1898). By locality and phenotype this specimen is a member of the latter subspecies. Now the question remains as to whether this specimen lost its status as type upon the description of canticus or if it remains a type of flavipectus because of its inclusion in the paratype series of that taxon by Sclater. The specimen is currently not in the type series. *see attached image of a note found with the specimen (possibly attributed to Roger Clapp)
