South Natuna Islands
,
Indonesia
, on
23 September 1893
, by Alfred Everett. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In the original description, Chasen and Kloss designated as type an adult male with wing measuring
55 mm
. They had in their type series
four specimens
of this form, including the
holotype
, which they had borrowed from Rothschild. They labeled each of these specimens with a long narrow label on which is typed ‘‘
Orthotomus ruficeps rubicundulus
Chas. & Kloss’’, with AMNH 592445 being additionally marked ‘‘Type’’. The wing of this specimen measures
55 mm
. The
three paratypes
are AMNH 592447, adult male with wing
54 mm
, AMNH 592448 and 592449, females with wings measuring 50 and
53 mm
, respectively, all from Sirhassen Island, collected by Everett on
23 September 1893
. A fifth specimen, AMNH 592446, adult male, was apparently not borrowed and is not a
paratype
. This form was described too late to have been included in any of Hartert’s lists of Rothschild types, and the
holotype
bears only an AMNH type label.
