Herpornis xantholeuca interposita
Hartert
Herpornis xantholeuca interposita
Hartert, 1917a: 20
(Temangoh, Upper
Perak
).
Now
Erpornis zantholeuca interposita
(Hartert, 1917)
. See
Cibois et al., 2002: 385–386
, and
Dickinson, 2003: 622
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 591579
, adult male, collected at
Temengor
(5 Temangoh), 058209N, 1018219E (Times Atlas),
Perak
,
Malaysia
, on
24 July 1909
(not 1911), by
Cecil Boden Kloss. From
the
Herbert C. Robinson Collection
via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, the type was said to be an adult male in the Rothschild Collection from Temangoh collected by Boden Kloss on
24 July 1911
, a misprint that was corrected without comment by
Hartert (1920: 478)
. The above specimen is the only one collected at Temangoh that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, and it bears the Rothschild type label.
Paratypes
are AMNH 591577–591578 and 591580–591586.
In their recent molecular studies of bab blers in the genera
Yuhina
and
Stachyris
,
Cibois et al. (2002: 385–386)
found that
Yuhina zantholeuca
was not closely related to typical members of the genus
Yuhina
and suggested resurrection of the genus
Erpornis
Hodgson, 1844
, for this species, pending further studies on its exact relationships.
