Pnoepyga squamata magnirostris
Rothschild
Pnoepyga squamata magnirostris
Rothschild, 1925: 297
(Shweli Valley,
7,000 ft.
).
Now
Pnoepyga albiventer albiventer
(Hodgson, 1837)
. See
Rothschild, 1926b: 249
,
Cheng, 1987: 655
, and
MacKinnon and Phillipps, 2000: 433
.
HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 573660
, adult female, collected in the
Shweli Valley
,
7000 ft
,
Yunnan
,
China
, in
November 1924
, by
George Forrest
(no. 5819).
From
the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild stated that he had a single female, and later that it was the only known specimen (
Rothschild, 1926b: 249
, under
Pnoepyga albiventer magnirostris
).
Deignan (1964b: 293)
noted that
Microura
squamata
Gould, 1837
was a nomen oblitum.
Pnoepyga
Hodgson, 1844
, became the next available generic name, and
Zimmer and Vaurie (1954: 40–41)
designated
albiventer
as the
type
species.
P. a. magnirostris
is now considered a synonym of the nominate race. For a discussion of the
types
of taxa named by Rothschild, based on specimens collected by Forrest in
Yunnan
and a map of the area, see
LeCroy and Dickinson (2001)
