COMMENTS
: Ripley cited the AMNH number of the
holotype
in the original description. He did not mention other specimens, and because he borrowed specimens for the description (
Ripley, 1952: 71
), there is no way of knowing which additional ones he might have examined.
Mayr (1944a: 161–162)
discussed Stein’s Wetar and Timor specimens under
Muscicapula melanoleuca
;
White and Bruce (1986: 357–358)
did not recognize subspecies in this species.
