New World Warblers (Parulidae)
Hooded Yellowthroat (Geothlypis nelsoni) - HBW 15, p. 773
French: Paruline de Nelson
German: Nelsongelbkehlchen
Spanish: Mascarita Matorralera
Other common names: Brush Yellowthroat
Taxonomy: Geothlypis nelsoni Richmond, 1900, Cofre de Perote, near Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.
Species originally named as G. cucullata, but that name invalid, as preoccupied. Affinities within genus not known; no obvious close relatives. Has been suggested that race karlenae or possibly an undescribed race may occur on the Volcanes de Colima (W Mexico); further study required. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- nelsoni Richmond, 1900 - Sierra Madre Oriental (from SE Coahuila S to WC Veracruz and N Puebla), in C Mexico.
- karlenae R. T. Moore, 1946 - C highlands of Mexico from Distrito Federal and S Puebla S to Oaxaca.
