HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 299071
, adult male, collected at
Rurukan
,
900 m
,
01.20N
,
124.48E
(
BirdLife
International, 2001: 2609
),
north Sulawesi
(=
Celebes
),
Indonesia
, on
17 February 1931
, by
Gerd Heinrich
(no. 3753).
COMMENTS: In the original description, Stresemann gave Heinrich’s unique field number of the
holotype
but did not list the specimens he examined;
however, he (
Stresemann, 1936: 359
) noted that
celebensis
was universally distributed on
Sulawesi
.
Heinrich
had collected for
AMNH
and
ZMB
, and types were to be deposited in
AMNH
, with the rest of the collection divided between the
two institutions (
Stresemann, 1931: 7–9
). Later,
Stresemann (1940: 15–16)
listed
24 specimens
, giving the localities where they were collected. Sixteen of these, including the
holotype
, were deposited in AMNH. The
15 paratypes
in AMNH are: Makassar,
AMNH 299069, 299076, 299077
, one male, two females; Paleleh,
AMNH 299070
, one male; Rurukan,
AMNH 299072, 299073, 299079– 299081
, two males, three females; Komersot,
AMNH 299074, 299082, 299083
, one male, two females; Wawo,
AMNH 299075, 299084
, one male, one female; Oeroe,
AMNH 299078
, female, all collected on
Sulawesi
between
May 1930
and
February 1932
by Gerd Heinrich.
Steinheimer (2009: 25)
reported four
paratypes
in ZMB from Rurukan and five additional specimens from other localities, which I believe should also be considered
paratypes
. This results in a total of
25 specimens
. There apparently was a misprint in Stresemann’s sums as there is in fact a total of three males and four females from Makassar (one male, two females in AMNH and two males, two females in ZMB; S. Frahnert, personal commun.)
