HOLOTYPE
:
AMNH 655099

(

.
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 14568) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS
: In his original description, Mathews said only that the type was from Gracemere. The above specimen is the only Gracemere specimen that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. It bears both a Mathews and a Rothschild type label and Mathews’ catalog number 14568, although that number was not listed in the description. The specimen was cataloged as being from Collett and was probably collected by Carl Lumholtz (see
LeCroy, 2005: 56
). A second specimen, AMNH 655100 (cataloged by Mathews as no. 14569) from Taraiyanbar, collected on
17 February 1882
, was probably also collected by Lumholtz, as the handwriting on the original label of this specimen and the
holotype
is similar. It should probably be considered a
paratype
.
Schodde and Mason (1999: 494)
noted that Gould named
leucotis
in
1850 in
Jardine’s
Contributions to Ornithology
, and not in
1851 in
the
Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London
