Now Rhinomyias gularis Sharpe, 1888 . See Vaurie, 1952: 27–30 , Dickinson et al., 1991: 343 , and Smythies, 2000: 556 . LECTOTYPE : AMNH 652770 , female, collected on Mount Kinabalu , 06.03N , 116.32E (Times Atlas), Sabah , Malaysia , on 27 March 1888 , by John Whitehead (no. 2323). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : Sharpe did not designate a type in the original description, but he did list Whitehead’s numbers (2083 and 2323) of the two specimens that he had. Hartert (1920: 499) listed as type Whitehead’s number 2323, thereby designating it the lectotype . In the original description, Sharpe had referred to this specimen as ‘‘immature’’, but later ( Sharpe and Whitehead, 1889: 201 ) noted that it only has ‘‘faint traces of dusky mottling on the abdominal feathers and small rufous tips to the greater coverts’’. Whitehead (1893b: 185) routinely sent ahead to Sharpe two specimens of any form that he thought would be new. In this case, Sharpe had only the two specimens when he named gularis , and they comprise the type series. The second specimen also bears a Rothschild type label and is marked ‘‘Type RBS[harpe]’’; however, because Hartert designated number 2323 the lectotype , AMNH 652761 (Whitehead no. 2083) is the paralectotype . It remains with the types because it bears a Rothschild type label, but a label has been added to explain its status.
