COMMENTS
:
Hartert (1918a: 27)
listed the type as an adult female in the Rothschild Collection, collected on Peleng by Cursham in the summer (evidently the northern summer) of 1895. The sex of this specimen was in brackets on the original label, probably indicating that it was sexed by plumage rather than by dissection. The only other specimen from Peleng in female plumage has no indication of sex on the label. The type series was said to consist of
four males
and
four females
from Peling and Banggai islands and ‘‘some more in the Dresden Museum’’. There are
seven paratypes
at AMNH: AMNH 562553–562559.
Hartert (1922b: 374)
called attention to the fact that the original description was actually published in
January 1918
, despite the printed date of publication as
29 December 1917
.
