Species profile

Eye-ringed Thistletail

Schizoeaca palpebralis

Quick answer

Type series: Cabanis (1873 c: 319) based this species on an unspecified number of specimens deposited in the ZMB. Entries in the Accession Catalogue of the ZMB show that he had two specimens at disposal, which are thus syntypes of this species. Syntype: ZMB 21346 (B- 10000), 3, collected by Jelski on " 1871 r. 24 Czerwca " (field-label) [= 24 June 1871] at " Maraynioc " [= Maraynioc, Peru]. Carlos Sánchez-Osés wrote on a red label attached to the specimen on 26 April 2005 " Kein Typus! ", i. e. " No type! ", without explanation. His opinion is unsubstantiated.
