, by
Heinrich Kühn
(no. 6644a).
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
.
