,
Malaysia
, in
September 1901
, by John Waterstradt. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Hartert did not designate a type in the original description, saying only that his series consisted of
two adult
specimens, both marked male, collected in
September and October 1901
. Later,
Hartert (1920a: 440)
listed the adult male collected in September as the type, thereby designating it the
lectotype
. The
paralectotype
is
AMNH 684087
, male, collected on Mt. Tahan in
October 1901
.
Dickinson (2006: 234) and
Dickinson et al. (2006b: 292)
considered
saturatior
a synonym of
S. frontalis frontalis
, with the caveat that Wells (then in press) considered birds of the Malay Peninsula distinct.
Wells (2007: 430)
discussed the two subspecies and recognized
saturatior
;
Harrap (2008b: 142–143)
also recognized
saturatior
for Malay Peninsula birds.
