Now Sitta frontalis palawana Hartert, 1905 . See Dickinson et al., 2006b: 293 , and Harrap, 2008b: 142–143 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 684105 , adult male, collected at Puerto Princesa , 09.44N , 118.44E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 424 ), Palawan Island , Philippines , in January 1898 , by William Doherty (no. 1198). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Hartert gave Doherty’s field number of the holotype in the original description and said that the form occurred on Palawan and Balabac islands . Paratypes in AMNH are: Doherty specimens collected on Palawan in 1897 and 1898, AMNH 684104 , AMNH 684106–684109 ; and J. Whitehead specimens collected on Palawan in 1887, AMNH 684111–684115 . A probable paratype is AMNH 684110 , collected by Platen on Palawan in 1887, but I do not know whether it was in Rothschild’s possession when palawana was named. There are no Balabac specimens in AMNH .
