Hylophilus flaviventris
Quick answer
Type series: Cabanis (1873 a: 64) based this species on an unspecified number of specimens. Taczanowski (1875: 509) stated that Jelski sent from Peru a unique specimen of this species (see also Sclater 1881: 303), which is thus the holotype. The holotype was deposited in the MIZ (Sclater 1881: 303, Taczanowski 1889: 10), but was destroyed in the 1920 s (cf. Sztolcman & Domaniewski 1927: 159; see Mlíkovský 2009 b for details). Holotype: MIZ unnumbered (N. 7175), 3 (according to Taczanowski 1875: 509, 1889: 10; unsexed according to Cabanis 1873 a: 64) collected by Jelski on an unknown date [= August to December 1870] at " Monterico " [= Monterrico, Peru]. Sclater (1881: 303) wrote that the specimen was collected in 1872, which is incorrect, because Jelski did not collect at Monterrico in that year (see Mlíkovský 2009 b). Type locality: " Monterico " (Cabanis 1873 a: 64), i. e. Monterrico, Peru [12.05 ° S, 74.10 ° W].
