From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Hartert gave Kühn’s unique field number of the holotype in the original description and said that he had 20 specimens collected in August and September 1905 . An additional ten specimens came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection and are paratypes : AMNH 657421 (Kühn no. 6621), AMNH 657422 (6729), AMNH 657423 (6645), AMNH 657424 (6672), AMNH 657425 (6702), AMNH 657426 (6774), AMNH 657427 (6651), AMNH 657428 (6642), AMNH 657429 (6896), and AMNH 657430 (6897). Leonard C. Sanford purchased for AMNH the following two specimens from W.F.H. Rosenberg, which are also paratypes because they retain Rothschild labels with Kühn field numbers: AMNH 295111 (6808) and AMNH 295112 (6676). Specimens bearing the following Kühn field numbers are also paratypes , if found: 6660, 6733, 6739, 6757, 6804, 6820, 6830, and 6889. Hartert (1920a: 448) himself recognized that P.melanura tepa was a junior synonym of A.B. Meyer’s name, P. sharpei .
