Now Ficedula platenae ( Blasius, 1888 ) . See Dickinson et al., 1991: 350 . LECTOTYPE : AMNH 605521 , adult male, collected at Tagusao ( 5 Taguso, on label), 08.49N , 117.53E ( Dickinson et al., 1991: 426 ), Palawan Island , Philippines , on 26 June 1887 , by John Whitehead (no. 1438). COMMENTS : Sharpe did not designate a type in the original description or say how many specimens he had; however, he described male and female. Whitehead (1890: 48) , in his report on this collection, also did not say how many specimens he collected. Hartert (1920: 492) listed as type of erithacus Whitehead’s specimen no 1438, thereby designating it the lectotype . There are four paralectotypes in AMNH, all from Tagusao: males, AMNH 605522 and 605523; immature male, AMNH 605524; and female, AMNH 605525. Blasius (1888: 372) noted that his name Siphia platenae was published in March 1888 , whereas Sharpe’s S. erithacus was published in April 1888 ; the priority of Blasius’ name was confirmed by Rand (1955: 211) .
